STAG Industrial, Inc. announced the completion of three NJ community solar projects hosted on its rooftops. The 2.7 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity are part of New Jersey's community solar program that provides low-cost renewable energy to local residents. The projects were built in the second year of the New Jersey Community Solar Pilot Program, and at least 50% of the offtake will go to low- and moderate-income residents who will receive a discount on their electricity.?Developed by Dimension Energy and facilitated by Black Bear Energy, the systems will generate over 3.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually - the equivalent of powering the electric use of nearly 500 homes.

With the addition of these sites, STAG now hosts over 30 MW of solar nationally.??The projects are hosted on 16 different properties in Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Connecticut with the majority being community solar projects, in which local residents and businesses benefit from lower electricity bills. STAG's notable projects include the largest rooftop community solar in the country on its Hampstead, MD property (9.18 MW), and the first Connecticut rooftop community solar project. These achievements have earned STAG a place on Black Bear Energy's Top 5 Real Estate Solar Leaderboards "Industrial" Category.

STAG continues to expand its solar program and has additional roofs under contract and in the development phase.
