Boston-based solar energy provider Nexamp has opened a 2.3-megawatt project in Winchendon that it says will generate “tens of thousands” of dollars in new tax revenue for the town over the next 20 years.
The ground-mounted installation will provide energy for the Chelmsford and North Chelmsford water districts and their residents as part of a long-term solar power purchasing agreement. The installation is located on the 30-acre site of a former sand pit, adjacent to Winchendon’s salvage yard, according to a statement from Nexamp.
