Atlantic Green Power Wins Preliminary Approval For 74.6 MW Solar Farm

ic Green Power Holding Co., a renewable energy company developing utility-scale solar energy generation in the Mid-Atlantic region, says the Land Use Board of Upper Pittsgrove Township, N.J., has granted preliminary site plan approval for Atlantic Green Power's development of a solar farm on the first of two tracts of land (the eastern site). This preliminary approval by the board provides Atlantic Green Power with a land-use variance and zoning permission to erect solar panels on approximately 88 acres of the 177-acre eastern site. The eastern site is part of Atlantic Green Power's plan to develop a 74.6 MW solar farm on approximately 512 acres of the 700-acre property leased by Atlantic Green Power in Upper Pittsgrove Township. The Land Use Board will reconvene in June to consider plans for the second 335-acre tract (the western site). SOURCE: [link=http://atlanticgreenpower.com/home]Atlantic Green Power Holding Co.[/lin
