Forbes Street Landfill : East Providence, Rhode Island : CME Energy Solar Project

CME anticipates that along with OCI and contractor Whitman Company that once we close the landfill, we will develop a 10 MW solar project. We believe that our approach will be suitable not only for East Providence, but for many communities which have uneconomic closed landfills available for productive, economically and environmentally sound solar applications.

What is a Solar Power Farm?

Rows of solar panels that are mounted on tracker systems.

The rows are spaced far enough apart that a service vehicle can drive between them.

The tops of the panels sit about 8 feet above the ground.

The majority of the ground remains covered with vegetation.
