The Utility Scale Solar System is interconnected to Western Massachusetts Electric Company's (WMECO) distribution system powering the municipalities of Agawam and Longmeadow. All electricity produced by the project (net of 1.75% parasitic load) will be sold (50% to the Town of Longmeadow, 50% to the Town of Agawam) through Solar Net Metering Power Purchase Agreements with both townships. The Town of Longmeadow will serve as the host customer for metering purposes with the Town of Agawam receiving net metering credits allocated from the host. The term of the agreements allow for an initial 20-year term with two optional 5-year extensions. With these agreements, the project qualifies as a Municipal or Government net metering facility.
The Solar Project is part of a Joint Development and Investment effort between Sunpin Solar and Suntuity.
In addition, Suntuity also assisted with the engineering, procurement and construction efforts for the solar project. Both Sunpin Solar and Suntuity are enthusiastic with the completion of the Tolland, MA solar project and remain eager to tackle future opportunities together.
"This facility is a major step forward in the advancement of SunPin's presence and commitment to the Massachusetts solar market," said Mel Jiganti, CEO at SunPin. This along with our office opening in Springfield in the 4th quarter of 2014 creates an even brighter outlook toward our 2015 endeavors here in the state."

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
