Gloucester Solar Project
Enel Green Power is developing the Gloucester Solar Project in Franklin Township, NJ. Featuring 44 MW of solar power capacity, commercial operation is expected to begin in 2026. The Gloucester Solar Project will produce enough carbon-free electricity to power 7,555 households and avoid the emission of 66,112 tons of CO2 each year.
Enel has a proven record of developing solar and wind projects nationwide, and collaborating closely with landowners and civic leaders to create projects that benefit the entire community.
Enel strives not only to be a good neighbor but also to become a strong community partner. Having an open dialogue with local residents is important to us, and we are dedicated to seeking community input and incorporating as much of that feedback as possible into our plans.

Community Impact
Economic Benefit
The proposed Gloucester Solar project would generate approximately $3.4 million cumulative county and township real estate tax and rollback tax revenue over the facility’s anticipated 30-year operational life. The project will also create around 100- 200 jobs during construction, and generate predictable, long-term income for landowners.
Agricultural Presence
Agricultural presence can be maintained throughout the life of the project through native or naturalized vegetation. While quietly and passively harvesting sunlight, the land beneath the solar panels lies fallow, which allows the quality of the soil to improve.
Visual Impact
Compared to many other types of commercial development, low-profile solar panels present minimal visual impact. Vegetative screening can be added around nearby homes.
