Atlantic Green Power在美國東部的太陽能項目的第一部分已初步獲準。該公司正在Salem 縣Pittsgrove 開發發電量為74.6MW的太陽能光伏項目，占地分別為512畝和700畝。昨天有關方面表示，目前該項目已從當地土地利用委員會獲得177英畝東部用地審批，設立了88畝面積的太陽能電池板。6月份復會時委員會將決定335英畝西部用地。當74.6MW設施全部投入運行，它會提供滿足15000戶當地家庭用電需求的可再生新能源。

    Utility-scale solar developer Atlantic Green Power has secured preliminary approval for the first part of one of the largest utility-scale solar projects in the eastern United States.
The company is developing a 74.6-megawatt solar photovoltaic project across 512 acres of a two-site, 700-acre property leased in the Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, in the south-west of its home state of New Jersey.
Yesterday it said it now has preliminary site plan approval from the local Land Use Board for the 177-acre eastern site, giving it zoning permission to set up solar panels on 88 acres of the plot.

    The Board is expected to decide on the 335-acre western tract when it reconvenes in June.
When the full 74.6MW facility is up and running, it will provide enough renewable energy to supply around 15,000 local homes with electricity.
