27 September: Greenwood Energy has announced the opening of the new 7MW Elizabeth Mine Solar project located in Strafford and Thetford, Vermont.

The PV project is built atop a former copper mine that previously produced 3.25 million tonnes of ore during a stretch from the early 1800s through 1958.

Construction on the project was started by the Conti Group in late May 2017, with the installation reaching mechanical completion in August 2017. The project is comprised of 19,990 solar panels made by Hyundai and is expected to commence commercial operation in October 2017.
