# Connecticut Completes Rocky Hill Solar Project

Connecticut completed two solar installations totaling 1.404 MW DC at its Department of Veterans Affairs campus in Rocky Hill through the Connecticut Green Bank’s Solar MAP+ program. The projects are projected to save taxpayers $2.2 million over 20 years and use a public-private delivery model that separates engineering, procurement, and construction from long-term ownership, operation, and maintenance. For state agencies and contractors, the project offers a concrete example of how solar procurement can combine construction delivery with long-term operating arrangements and projected lifecycle savings.

- Greenskies Clean Energy served as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor; Kearsarge Energy L.P. is the long-term project owner, operator, and maintenance manager.
- Agencies evaluating solar projects can use the Rocky Hill installations as a reference for assessing public-private delivery structures and long-term operating responsibilities.
- The projected 20-year savings provide a lifecycle-cost benchmark for public entities comparing solar investments and energy-service arrangements.
