Talk about a glow up.

Built on a former landfill in Rutland, Vermont, Stafford Hill Solar became the nation's first microgrid powered entirely by solar and battery storage with zero fossil fuel backup. This local energy independence allows the city to power an emergency shelter at the high school during severe weather events.

Bringing a complex site like this online required specialized expertise. Constructing landmark sites like Stafford Hill reflects our Distribution-Scale Power team's deep experience in transforming brownfields, Superfund sites, and environmentally sensitive lands into reliable energy generation assets through expert construction and project ex*****on.
