Greenskies Clean Focus announced it has completed a 3.13-MWDC solar project in Durham, Connecticut. Spanning 10 acres and featuring more than 5,800 tracker-mounted panels, this new Shared Clean Energy Facility (SCEF) will deliver clean, renewable energy to subscribers in Eversource’s service territory, expanding access to affordable power for low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents, small businesses and municipalities.

“This project represents the best of what community solar can achieve,” said Ryan Linares, VP of real estate at Greenskies Clean Focus. “By collaborating closely with our landowner partner, we’ve created a site that delivers clean energy to Connecticut residents, supports local agriculture, and blends naturally into the surrounding community. It’s a great example of how responsible solar development can benefit everyone involved.”

Greenskies developed, financed and constructed the Durham project and will own, operate and maintain the system under a long-term lease with the property owner.

To enhance the site’s visual appeal and provide natural screening for nearby neighbors, Greenskies installed agricultural fencing and planted 40 new trees, including 30 Manhattan Blue Junipers and 10 Donald Wyman Flowering Crabapples, adding both beauty and biodiversity to the landscape.
