Kearsarge Amesbury (Amesbury, MA)

About the Project:

Completed in 2019, Kearsarge was awarded the rights to develop, finance, construct, own and operate this project through a 2017 RFP. Located on 15.8 acres of the City’s Titcomb Pit Landfill, this project was the first solar + storage facility built under the MA SMART Solar Program for National Grid. Kearsarge partnered with local contractors and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to permit the project. The facility consists of a 4.5 MW DC ballasted ground-mount array, and a 3.8 MWh battery energy storage system. The City of Amesbury serves as the sole offtaker for the project. The Amesbury site hosts several bee hives and produces about 200 jars of honey per growing season.
