Mannington Township has approved Lincoln Renewable Energy’s planning application for its 10MW Cedar Solar farm in Salem County, New Jersey. Lincoln Renewable plan to start work at the 129-acre site in early 2011, with construction costs estimated at US$60 million.

“We thank the Planning Board and the community of Mannington for recognising the benefits that solar farms can bring to rural communities,” said Declan Flanagan, Lincoln Renewable’s CEO. “However, we recognize that solar projects must be designed carefully to fit with the rural character of the communities where they’re located. We have worked closely with the community on the project’s design and will continue that close cooperation as we move toward construction.”

The Cedar Solar development is the latest Lincoln Renewable project to get the green light in New Jersey; the company’s Oak Solar project in Cumberland County was approved in October.

Construction of these plants will benefit greatly from Congress’ possible passing of the Tax Extenders Bill, which extends the Treasury Grant Program for solar power projects until the end of 2011.

“The program’s extension would be very welcome news for the U.S. solar power industry. Extension of the Treasury Grant Program is critical to moving those projects into construction with the creation of hundreds of jobs in the supply chain and in project construction,” said Flanagan.
