新泽西州太阳能电厂第一部分74.6MW设施初步获准

 Atlantic Green Power在美国东部的太阳能项目的第一部分已初步获准。该公司正在Salem 县Pittsgrove 开发发电量为74.6MW的太阳能光伏项目，占地分别为512亩和700亩。昨天有关方面表示，目前该项目已从当地土地利用委员会获得177英亩东部用地审批，设立了88亩面积的太阳能电池板。6月份复会时委员会将决定335英亩西部用地。当74.6MW设施全部投入运行，它会提供满足15000户当地家庭用电需求的可再生新能源。

    Utility-scale solar developer Atlantic Green Power has secured preliminary approval for the first part of one of the largest utility-scale solar projects in the eastern United States.
The company is developing a 74.6-megawatt solar photovoltaic project across 512 acres of a two-site, 700-acre property leased in the Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, in the south-west of its home state of New Jersey.
Yesterday it said it now has preliminary site plan approval from the local Land Use Board for the 177-acre eastern site, giving it zoning permission to set up solar panels on 88 acres of the plot.

    The Board is expected to decide on the 335-acre western tract when it reconvenes in June.
When the full 74.6MW facility is up and running, it will provide enough renewable energy to supply around 15,000 local homes with electricity.
