Comcast, one of the largest telecommunications operations in America, has purchased 70 megawatts of renewable solar electricity from a town business that is in the early stages of development. Serving millions of customers across the nation, Comcast will now power 43% of its Connecticut and Massachusetts operations utilizing renewable solar electricity from the Gravel Pit Solar project in East Windsor. The solar project, between Apothecaries Hall Road and Plantation Road, is being developed by D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments and North Light Energy. Aaron Svedlow, president of North Light Energy, said the project started construction in late January and will be completed in 2024. He said the 120-megawatt clean energy facility will include over 250,000 solar panels and will begin delivering to customers in 2024, with Comcast the facility’s largest customer.
