Company Announces Updated Timeline For Shelton Facility Closure, Planned Layoffs In CT

SHELTON, CT — A solar energy company with offices in multiple states has announced an updated timeline for planned layoffs in Connecticut and the closure of its Shelton facility, according to a WARN notice sent last week to the Connecticut Department of Labor.

In August, PosiGen Developer LLC notified the state DOL of plans to immediately implement permanent layoffs at its facilities in Shelton, Danbury and Wethersfield, with nearly 80 employees affected.

The company then sent subsequent notices in September and early October regarding "its expectation that it may need to shut down all operations, close its entire facilities in Connecticut on a permanent basis and terminate employees working in or reporting to such facilities...during the period between Oct. 12, 2025, and Oct. 25, 2025."

According to the latest WARN notice sent to the DOL on Oct. 24, the company subsequently closed its Danbury and Wethersfield facilities, however employees working or reporting to those facilities "continue to be employed and perform services for the company."

The Danbury facility is located at 98 Mill Plain Road, Suite 2C, the Wethersfield facility is located at 100 Great Meadow Road, Suite 205, and the Shelton facility is located at 50 Ivy Brook Road, according to the company's website.

"We write now to confirm that, although the company has obtained some additional financing from its lender and is still actively seeking additional financing from its lender, such financings only will permit the company to continue operations for a temporary period," Chief Administrative Officer John Truschinger wrote in the Oct. 24 WARN notice, "at the end of which the company will shut down all operations and close its entire facility [in Shelton]."

As a result, the company now "expects that it will terminate all of the remaining CT employees" between Nov. 2 and Nov. 15, according to the notice.

A request for comment from PosiGen was not immediately returned Friday.

In addition to Connecticut, PosiGen also operates offices in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Mississippi.

According to the company's website, PosiGen "is working to implement solar power for all."

"We want solar to be affordable and easy to access, especially for underserved communities," the website reads. "By making solar more accessible through our solar leasing program, we are making it possible for families in these communities to invest in their homes, reduce energy costs and take steps toward a brighter future."
