The Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) of Newark, N.J., has embarked on a $515 million, 80-megawatt Solar 4 All program in its quest to obtain 30% of its energy supply from renewable sources by 2020.
“PSE&G has a pretty robust program in place,” says Dan Urban, business manager with J. Fletcher Creamer & Son of Hackensack, N.J., which received a $10.08 million contract last October to build a solar farm in Edison, N.J. PSE&G expects to start construction on this and three other solar farms in 2010, representing a $50 million investment in 12 megawatts of grid-connected solar energy, enough to power 1,300 homes.
