вЂњWe are proud to have played a role in making Shelburne Museum one of the few museums in New England to be completely solar powered.вЂќ вЂњShelburne MuseumвЂ™s sustainability commitment only furthers its stewardship mission,вЂќ said Chad Farrell, Founder and CEO of Encore Renewable Energy. The museum will purchase the net metering credits generated by the systems at a discount, resulting in significant reductions in electricity expenses over the 25-year life of the project. This is the carbon equivalent of powering more than 150 average New England homes and taking nearly 200 cars off the road per year. Once complete, the solar projects will generate an estimated 1,200,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually. вЂњThis solar project is an important step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.вЂќ вЂњAt Shelburne Museum we see our mission as not only focused on stewarding the museumвЂ™s renowned collections, buildings and gardens, we also believe that responsibility extends to our impact on the planet,вЂќ said Shelburne Museum Director Thomas Denenberg. The museum partnered with Encore Renewable Energy of Burlington, Vermont, on the development, financing and construction of both solar projects. The second phase, a separate, smaller 150kW array, south of the museum campus, is under construction and scheduled to be complete in the fall. (July 14, 2021) - Shelburne Museum will be fully powered by renewable energy when two new arrays constructed on museum property come online later this year.Д¬onstruction of the first phase of the project, a 500-kilowatt array on land adjacent to the museum campus, was completed in December 2020. Shelburne Museum teams up with Encore Renewable Energy and Bee The Change to develop Two Pollinator Friendly Solar Projects Shelburne Museum to be Powered by Solar Energy by the End of 2021
