Greenskies Clean Focus has completed a solar project on the roof of West Hartford’s Department of Public Works building in Connecticut. Greenskies developed and built the project, which it will own and operate under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the city.

The new system replaces a solar array originally installed at the facility in 2012, which was removed in 2022 during a roof replacement. The upgraded installation restores on-site solar generation and continues the town’s mission to deploy clean energy across municipal infrastructure.
“The town of West Hartford is committed to a clean energy future and actively pursues opportunities for both on-site and off-site solar, as well as purchasing renewable energy credits to offset carbon emissions from traditional grid-based consumption,” said Catherine Diviney, energy specialist for the town of West Hartford and West Hartford Public Schools.
In 2021, West Hartford enacted a plan to generate 100% clean energy by 2050. In recognition of its climate and sustainability initiatives, West Hartford earned Gold-level certification from Sustainable CT in 2024.
“Communities like West Hartford are demonstrating how municipal infrastructure can play an important role in advancing practical clean energy solutions,” said Ryan Linares, head of real estate at Greenskies. “We’re proud to support the town’s long-term energy strategy and help deliver reliable renewable power that benefits both taxpayers and the environment.”
