November 2010 - East Providence - Forbes Street Landfill

CME has won an RFP in East Providence Rhode Island to close a landfill site and develop a solar energy center on the site. Our bid won an 100% vote of the selection committee and a unanimous vote by the East Providence City Council. CME anticipates that along with its JV partners Cornerstone and contractor Whitman Company that once we close the landfill, we will develop a 10 MW solar project. We believe that our approach will be suitable not only for East Providence, but for many communities which have uneconomic closed landfills available for productive, economically and environmentally sound solar applications.
