Littleton Landfill Solar Array Expected Online in December

LITTLETON — An old town landfill is getting a new use. After voter approval in 2024, a solar array is being installed on top of the landfill along Industrial Park Road, which closed three decades ago is nearing completion and expected to be online in December, to the benefit of Littleton Water and Light and its ratepayers. The perks of the first-of-its kind development in town are a more diversified portfolio for LWL, with a new source of clean, renewable energy, the ability for LWL to offer more stable rates and a sustained flat rate for customers for the next two decades, and power for hundreds of households. LWL’s other source of renewable energy has been White Mountain Hydro, which provides .5 megawatts.
