WHO KNEW We Would Have So Much to Be Thankful for This Year?

Only 4 years after setting a goal to use all renewable energy by 2030, Hanover is ready to start generating solar energy at its new solar installation near Hanover’s water treatment facility on. Grasse Rd. When combined with the Town’s six other rooftop solar arrays located on Town Hall, the Hanover Police and Fire Station, the water reclamation facility, the Public Works equipment storage Building and the sand and salt storage facility, nearly 100% of the municipality’s electricity needs will be met!

What is more, Hanover’s new solar installation is the largest municipal solar installation in the state! According to the EPA, the roughly 8-acre community solar farm will offset 3.2 million pounds of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to the carbon sequestration of 1,816 acres of American forests and over 320 passenger cars driven for one year!
