Project Benefits | Sunny Fields Renewable Energy

JOB CREATION

Sunny Fields Renewable Energy will create hundreds of jobs during project construction and can provide contracting opportunities for local suppliers and vendors. Once it’s operational, the site will support long-term jobs.

A BOOMING ECONOMY

Sunny Fields Renewable Energy is committed to strengthening Pennsylvania’s economy through responsible project development and creating a new long-term revenue source for the local community.

EDUCATION FUNDS

Local schools will be one of the largest beneficiaries of funds generated by Sunny Fields Renewable Energy. A new, annual source of revenue will make a meaningful impact on students in the community.

Solar + Storage = The ideal partnership

Energy storage plays a vital role in expanding the use of renewable energy sources like solar. The ability to store extra solar power generated during times of peak production for use during times of peak demand also makes it possible to significantly increase the overall supply of clean, affordable energy. This benefits consumers and the environment alike.

LAND USE BENEFITS

Solar farms preserve the agricultural character of the community and allow landowners to preserve their family farms for future generations who may choose to cultivate traditional row crops or continue to harvest the sun.

NATURAL SCREENING

Sunny Fields Renewable Energy is committed to exploring the use of natural screening like trees, hedges, and native plants to minimize visual impacts associated with the project as necessary. We want to be good neighbors and ensure the project enhances the local community aesthetics.

DECOMMISSIONING

Sunny Fields Renewable Energy will prepare a decommissioning plan before construction begins. The plan will describe the steps that Sunny Fields Renewable Energy will take to remove the equipment once the project comes to an end and restore the site. The land can then return to its originally designated use.

POLLINATORS

Sunny Fields Renewable Energy is exploring the use of pollinator-friendly plants at the site. These types of plantings have been shown to have a positive impact on neighboring harvest yields and overall ecosystem health.
