CEP Renewables and Luminace have reached commercial operation of the 10 MW DC BEMS community solar landfill project, located on the Big Hill Landfill in Southampton, N.J.
The project is the first in New Jersey to have two 5 MW solar systems atop a landfill, as well as span across two utility territories.
Part of the state’s Community Solar Energy Pilot Program, this fixed-tilt project utilizes ballasted solar racking technology from Terrasmart, as well as bifacial solar panels.
CEP Renewables developed the project and contracted CS Energy as EPC contractor for the construction phase. Luminace, a Brookfield Renewable company, is the long-term owner and operator of the project.
“We are pleased to have converted yet another previously limited use site into a source of revenue as well as more affordable, clean energy for local communities,” says Chris Ichter, CEP Renewables’ executive vice president.
“We’re grateful to have been selected by CEP, one of the nation’s top leaders in landfill and brownfield solar redevelopment, to provide our expertise on this impactful project,” says Erol Ozkirbas, chief operating officer at CS Energy.
“We were able to leverage our experience designing and constructing over 200 MW of landfill solar projects to address the complexities of this project and complete it safely, on time, and on budget.”
The Big Hill Landfill project also adds to CEP’s more than 100 MW of solar projects developed in New Jersey and further supports the state in achieving its goal of 100% clean electricity by 2035.

From the Independent: “Trump Administration to Pay Two More Companies to Walk Away from U.S. Offshore Wind Leases”
From this article in The Independent:
The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.
Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.
Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.
Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.
He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.
What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.
But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.
Here’s an article that outlines how the EU has lowered energy prices via its investment in renewables.
In truth, the economics of all this is complicated. In most of the world, there are subsidies for clean energy, just as there are subsidies for Big Oil. If you want to remove the environmental regulations of coal-fired power plants and let them make fortunes by turning our atmosphere into their own private sewers, you can probably make coal-powered energy very inexpensive.
One thing is clear though, looking through all this complexity: the countries whose people actually care about the future of life on Earth are aggressively decarbonizing their energy and transportation sectors, and there is a great deal to be said for this.
In the United States, we’re rapidly going in the other direction. Shame on us.
