Dive Brief:
- The Parklands landfill in Bordentown Township, New Jersey may be transformed into a solar project- if PSE&G wins approval for the bid.
- 40 acres of the shuttered landfill site will have a ballasted racking system due to the landfill caps. The Department of Environmental Protection prohibits penetration of the caps.
- The project is part of PSE&G's "Solar4All" initiative. The platform is focusing on the creation of large solar energy projects using landfills and old industrial sites.
Dive Insight:
PSE&G are anticipating leasing the land from Waste Management.
