ReVision Energy is developing community solar arrays atop the former municipal landfill in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The project is expected to go live early in 2027.

Under the agreement, the town of Jaffrey will lease the capped landfill to ReVision Energy for solar panel installation, receiving an annual rental fee of $10,000 and installing escalators over time.

"This is the perfect utilization of the land, leaving no room for anything else," said Jon Frederic, the town manager of Jaffrey. "The project creates value for the town while supporting households in greatest need of energy efficiency."

The financing for this project was provided by Blue Haven Solar, a solar financing entity under the Blue Haven Initiative.

The 1.34 megawatt community solar array is projected to generate over 1.7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Once operational, 100% of the energy produced by the community solar array will benefit approximately 250 low- and moderate-income households participating in New Hampshire's Electric Assistance Program (EAP). Participants are expected to receive up to $2 million in bill credits over the system's lifecycle. By joining the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (EAP LMI) Community Solar initiative, participants will achieve a direct savings of 25% on their utility bills for electricity supply.

The selection and registration of members will be managed by Eversource, the utility company, and will adhere to the standards set by the New Hampshire Department of Energy. Priority will first be given to EAP customers and waitlisted households within the project's postal code, by eligible customers from adjacent postal codes, to help ensure local energy conservation. If demand exceeds the available slots in any priority category, participants will be selected through a random process.

"This project demonstrates that when communities, clean energy developers, and mission-driven partners work together, anything is possible," said Mark Zankel, Director of Community Solar at ReVision Energy. "By transforming a capped landfill into clean energy and delivering 100% of the power to households enrolled in the Energy Assistance Program, the Gifford Landfill Community Solar Array will turn an underutilized site into a long-term benefit for the community and Granite Staters in greatest need."
