HARTFORDBUSINESS.COM | MARCH 18, 2024 15 And it's also what's got municipali- ties excited about the prospect. "A lot of the municipal landfills that we're developing are participating in the (Non-Residential Solar Renew- able Energy Solutions) program, and that program is effectively designed to push value back to the municipalities," Fitzgerald said. "The municipalities we're working with are either getting lease revenues for us being able to put the project on the landfill, or we're sending them credits through the NRES program. Some towns want to realize the savings or economics in one of those two ways." But Fitzgerald also warns that there are natural roadblocks on the kind of growth we may see in the landfill trend. "We build as much as we can, and so do other developers and other market participants," he said. "But there simply are not enough landfills to put solar on, or wind, or any kind of other zero-carbon technology for the state to meet its zero-carbon goals. So, that's why developers like us and others look elsewhere, other real estate." There are a finite number of land- fills, and there are also some landfills that just aren't feasible for solar because of steep terrain or a lack of nearby infrastructure. "But we also do know that there are more landfills that are being created and capped," Fitzgerald said. "I know of a couple in Connecticut that will enter the active capping process this year or next. So, while there might not be a hockey- stick-style curve, there are going to be opportunities to develop more landfills in the future." And while other types of brown- field sites have the potential to be cleaned and redeveloped for other uses, in Fitzgerald's estima- tion, for landfills, "there probably really is no better post-closure usage than solar."
