New Old Bridge Solar Farm Scheduled To Open In Mid-November

OLD BRIDGE, NJ — A new solar farm is tentatively scheduled to open in Old Bridge on Nov. 14.

The solar farm is located at the Global Sanitary Landfill on Ernston Road in Old Bridge, which is a former Superfund site.

The company says it's a 2.78-MWh solar project farm that will generate enough electric power for 400 local households, many of which are low- to-moderate income.

Gov. Phil Murphy has a goal of New Jersey using 100 percent renewable or carbon neutral energy by 2050.
