Vermont Business Magazine Kingsbury, a general contractor and biological waste management company with corporate headquarters in Middlesex VT, is celebrating the completion of their latest wholly owned and operated solar array in Georgia, VT.
In 2018 the Kingsbury family of companies made a commitment to lead the construction industry, and other like-minded Vermont companies, in the effort to achieve our state’s goal of 90% Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
On December 21, 2021, Kingsbury increased its commitment to locally produced green energy with the commissioning of its 8th solar power facility.
The new facility, located in Milton, VT has a capacity of 777.6 KW DC and feeds green energy directly into Vermont’s electrical grid.
This latest installation increases Kingsbury’s total owned portfolio of locally generated renewable electricity to nearly 3MW DC. This clean energy offsets the equivalent emissions of approximately 70% of Kingsbury’s annual diesel fuel consumption.
The production of solar electricity is not the only means by which Kingsbury works to reduce its carbon footprint. They heat and cool their office building with non-combustion geothermal heat pumps. They use proven techniques to reduce waste and emissions by recycling and researching potential new methods. They utilize recycled products in their construction projects, and they strive to maximize work efficiencies to reduce the use and harmful effects of burning fossil fuel.
With a focus on building infrastructure projects that provide clean water and clean renewable energy, Kingsbury has installed and operates more than 3 MW of solar facilities, within the last three years. In addition to its solar development efforts, Kingsbury has worked on many other climate friendly projects including, hydro-electric facility upgrades and maintenance, bio gas digester construction and maintenance, and water quality improvement projects.
Kingsbury remains diligent in promoting and supporting projects and technology to help Vermont achieve its carbon neutrality goals.
