The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection announced the selection of three solar projects on Thursday that will expand grid capacity, racing to lock in federal clean energy tax credits before they expire. The agency said the projects would secure affordable, reliable and clean energy sources — but declined to disclose the bid prices. “The price is kept confidential while negotiations are ongoing,” a department spokesperson responded to queries from CT Examiner. The selected projects will total approximately 67 megawatts of capacity, enough to supply 12,000 homes in the state, according to DEEP. The agency expects them to be online before the end of 2030. In its press release, DEEP explained the selection was launched on September 10 and conducted expeditiously to choose advanced-stage projects that could capitalize on federal incentives while they’re still available.
