Delaware solar projects developed by MD’s Chaberton Energy break ground
Listen to this articleTwo new solar projects in Kent County, Delaware, developed by Rockville-based renewable energy project developer Chaberton Energy are beginning construction and will start generating electricity for subscribers in the surrounding communities in 2025.
These are among the first Delaware community solar projects to break ground and will total nearly 10 megawatts direct current (MWdc) of electric generating capacity when they are completed. In total, they will provide enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 900 households and save subscribers an average of 10% on their electricity costs.
The two solar projects are owned and operated by Pivot Energy, a national, Colorado-based renewable energy provider and independent power producer.
The 5.7 MWdc Crestone solar farm in Harrington, Del., will generate the equivalent amount of electricity to power more than 500 homes with affordable, renewable electricity. The 25-acre project site is owned by three sisters carrying out the wishes of their late father who purchased the land decades ago.
Blackburn is a 4.2 MWdc solar project in Magnolia, Del. It will cover about 20 acres and provide enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 400 homes.
