Duke Realty to Become New Jersey’s Largest Community Solar Host
Jersey City, NJ — June 16, 2020 — Duke Realty (NYSE:DRE) today announced that it will host solar projects covering nearly 1 million square feet of roof space across four of its New Jersey industrial assets. The four projects, facilitated by Black Bear Energy and developed by Solar Landscape, total 11.07 MW of solar and will produce more than 250 million kWh of renewable energy to the community over a twenty year period. Once completed, the combined projects will award Duke Realty the title of largest community solar host in the state of New Jersey.
Duke’s four projects were the first of 77.61 MW of solar power awarded in the first year of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities’ (NJBPU) Community Solar Energy Pilot Program. 252 applications were submitted and only 45 projects were selected. “We are pleased to have been selected as a major participant in the first round of New Jersey community solar,” commented Megan Basore, Duke Realty’s Vice President of Corporate Responsibility. “For nearly 50 years, Duke Realty has been one of the most prolific developers of logistics space in the United States, and we are proud to further our commitment to sustainable buildings with these projects in the New Jersey market.”
