WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Norwich Solar is pleased to announce that the company has won bids to EPC (engineer, procure & construct) three solar projects in Vermont, totaling over 6 MW AC for Standard Solar, a leading national commercial and community solar developer and asset owner. This follows the company's announcement in late 2023 of the expansion of its EPC services to other developers working in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

The new projects are located in Brandon, Berlin and Middlebury, Vermont.

Standard Solar and its partners developed, financed and permitted the 2.2 MW AC arrays under the Vermont Standard Offer program. Standard Solar will maintain long-term ownership of these projects. Norwich Solar will work closely with the developer to bring these projects to completion by the end of the year.

These projects are the first of Norwich Solar's foray into EPC services for outside companies. Norwich Solar will utilize their core competencies of EPC experts, while benefiting from the agile, collaborative spirit of a comprehensive solar development/construction organization under the Norwich Technologies family of companies.

General Manager of Norwich Solar, Charlie Van Winkle, states, "Trust in a contractor must be earned. Norwich Solar proves its value to our partners by consistently delivering projects on time, with quality work, and within budget. We know how to manage projects at this scale efficiently and effectively to EPC high-value solar projects."

"We are excited to collaborate with locally-based Norwich Solar to bring these solar projects to fruition," said Eric Partyka, Director of Business Development, Standard Solar. "Their proven expertise and commitment to quality in engineering, procurement and construction make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand our solar footprint in Vermont. These projects are part of an 18.5-MW project portfolio we recently acquired in the state that aligns with our strategic goals and bolsters our commitment to sustainable energy solutions in the region. We look forward to a successful collaboration and to seeing these projects come to life, reinforcing our dedication to long-term investment in renewable energy."

Jim Merriam, CEO of Norwich Technologies adds, "By expanding our EPC services, Norwich Solar is leveraging our team's expertise to construct projects for other developers, enabling a swift transition to renewable energy in the region."

These three projects are additions to several other internally developed projects in the pipeline for this year. In total, Norwich Solar plans to bring over 13 MW of new solar power to Northern New England by the end of 2024.
