The five grid-connected projects for NuGen are located in the small towns of Lunenberg, Whately, Hadley and Swansea. Electricity generated from the projects will be net metered, with utilities offering the net metering credits to local businesses and municipalities. NuGen owns and operates solar power and other renewable energy facilities, as well as investing in real estate used for generation and storage. The Rhode Island company seeks out viable areas for grid-connected solar, including commercial properties.

Solectria recently also announced a 30MW PV plant in Mexico, to be built as part of an “innovation partnership” between the state of Massachusetts and Mexico. The company celebrated seven years of profitability in January.
