BlueWave Solar of Massachusetts, along with Amp of Toronto, a global developer of flexible clean energy infrastructure, officially celebrated the completion of 7.4 MW (DC) of community solar projects in Dover, Mendon and Westport, Massachusetts. These projects, developed by BlueWave and owned by Amp, will produce local, clean energy and generate long term electricity savings for residents, small businesses and public entities around eastern Massachusetts.

The Dover project, located on the Town of Dover’s capped landfill on property owned by the Hale Reservation, is a 1.4-MW (DC) community solar project providing electricity bill credits to nearly eighty subscribers comprising of local residents, small businesses, and the Dover Sherborn Regional School District. In addition, the site is being used as an educational tool for visitors to the Hale Reservation Recreation Center through an on-site interactive kiosk. Informational displays will also be located at the Dover Sherborn Middle School and at the solar site for public viewing.

The Mendon project located on Cape Road in Mendon and the Westport project, located on Blossom Road in Westport represent another 6 MW (DC) of community solar customers that include public entities such as the following Massachusetts housing authorities: Abington, Hanson, Seekonk, Quincy, Attleboro, Bellingham, Easton, and the town of Hanover.

Together, all three projects will reduce carbon emissions by 6,970 metric tons annually, the equivalent of taking 1,481 cars off the road each year. In addition to helping the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reach its climate goals, these projects created 200 jobs during peak construction and will generate ongoing tax revenue for the host communities.

“BlueWave is proud to have developed the Dover, Mendon and Westport projects, in support of our mission to make solar accessible to everyone, everywhere. We are pleased to have partnered with Amp, the long-term owner of the project, to provide real energy savings to customers, generate economic development and fight climate change,” said BlueWave president Eric Graber-Lopez. “We are also pleased to be Amp’s customer management provider for these projects, delivering best in class customer service via our state of the art operations center and dedicated staff.”

“The acquisition of this portfolio of projects furthers Amp’s growth as a developer and long-term owner of clean energy projects and reinforces our commitment to the Massachusetts market,” said Dave Rogers, CEO of Amp. “The mutual commitment of continued collaboration between Amp and BlueWave is something that we are very excited about as we work to bring more clean energy online across our global platform.”
