A former New Haven landfill will soon transform into a solar farm that can power hundreds of homes

Sep 05, 2025
Soon, a grassy hill in New Haven will be covered with more than 1,900 solar panels. The hill – a former landfill at New Haven’s transfer station – will transform into a solar farm over the next six months. The project not only gives unusable land new life. It will also increase electricity supply, which will be sold to United Illuminating at a fixed rate, New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker said.
