Under the joint venture agreement, WorldWater & Power designed and engineered the project and supplied all solar-related equipment for the system at the wastewater treatment plant near Atlantic City. Conti provided construction services and construction project management. Completion of the remaining 223 kW of the project is scheduled during the first quarter of 2006, according to Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman and CEO of WorldWater & Power Corp.
The system designed by WorldWater comprises several different arrays: building rooftops, a large raised parking canopy, and ground mounted structures. Collectively the arrays are expected to provide an annual output of 660,000 kilowatt hours in clean, economical energy.
Following the dedication of the first phase of the solar and wind structures this week, Richard Dovey, ACUA President, said, "We are rapidly nearing our goals of installing and utilizing meaningful renewable power to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. The cooperative efforts of Community Energy developing the wind farm, WorldWater & Power designing and engineering the solar system and Conti Group handling the construction, is enabling ACUA to begin this significant move to renewable power use in 2006."
