Dave Turner, COO of Tangent, said the solar panels on the Port Richmond roof could cover one-and-a-half football fields.
He said the company’s expertise is helping large energy users — like the city of New York and the DEP plant in particular — integrate clean energy generation into their systems.
“On hot summer days when energy demand reaches peak levels, centralized generation is maxed out and transmission distribution lines are stressed, distribution generation facilities like these provide a cost-effective way to maintain system reliability without relying on costly fossil fuels,” he said.
