New York City will convert roughly 47 acres of land at the Freshkills Park on Staten Island into a 10-MW solar installation, five times bigger than any other system in the city and boosting the city’s renewable energy by 50 percent, according to officials. SunEdison, which won the public bidding process, will lease the land to design, build, and operate the facility, with construction reportedly beginning in late 2015 and online within a year.
. . . the EleBlog’s proprietor had a previous life as the Editor of Waste Age magazine (6 years, 1984-89). I set foot on the Freshkills site which, of course, has an amazing name. I can remember that they built the damn thing up so high that there were worries about the Garbage Mountain’s stability; I guess those are now gone.
I also remember that they built it up to be the 2nd highest point on the East Coast, 2nd only to actual mountains in Maine . . . that’s from memory.
