NJ – NBS Energy Partners, LLC today
announced an agreement with the New Brunswick Renewable Energy
Consortium to install and maintain multiple solar panel systems
at various locations throughout the city.
NBS Energy Partners is jointly owned and operated by Energenic,
a business venture between long-term business partners Marina
Energy and DCO Energy, and Swan Creek Energy LLC. The New
Brunswick Renewable Energy Consortium represents the City
of New Brunswick, the City of New Brunswick Parking Authority,
the New Brunswick Board of Education and the New Brunswick
Housing Authority.
“We are pleased to move New Brunswick toward a more
sustainable and reliable energy future,” said Joseph
Scheufele, Energenic’s senior vice president of business
development. “In addition to reducing New Brunswick’s
carbon footprint, this project will significantly reduce
the city’s energy costs.”
Energenic identified 19 potential sites within New Brunswick
where solar panels will be installed. Sites include parking
garages, schools, water treatment plants and other city-owned
facilities.
The project will be the largest single solar panel project
in New Jersey. Once complete, the sites will generate more
than 8 megawatts, or 9.7 million kilowatt hours of energy
annually. New Brunswick is expected to save 20 percent or
more on their energy bills as a result of the projects.
The first phase of the project is expected to be completed
by the end of 2010, and will generate 4 megawatts, or 3.5
million kilowatt hours of energy annually.
The average home consumes nearly 9,000 kilowatt hours of
electricity each year.
