With federal regulations requiring the closing of power plants’ coal ash impoundments, PowerCap™ provides an ideal opportunity for utilities to deploy solar generation alongside active or retired coal-fired plants. One of the biggest hurdles to utility-scale solar is finding suitable sites with suitable grid infrastructure for interconnection. By nature, this problem is alleviated when solar is sited at an existing or retired power plant and the impoundments have been capped with ClosureTurf®. Utilities benefit from PowerCap™ generation, from ClosureTurf environmental aspects and from showing communities the commitment to clean energy sources.
