TFMoran’s Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon, recently attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Unitil’s groundbreaking 4.9-megawatt solar array in Kingston—the first solar array in New Hampshire to be owned by a public utility. TFMoran proudly provided civil and site engineering services for the project, which features over 11,000 solar panels and is expected to power more than 1,200 homes with clean, renewable energy for years to come.
Thomas P. Meissner, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Unitil, described the installation as a milestone achievement—demonstrating the potential of utility-scale solar while reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Sam Evans-Brown, Executive Director of Clean Energy NH, emphasized the array’s advanced tracking technology, which allows the panels to follow the sun and maximize energy production. He also highlighted the project’s recent recognition as “Project of the Year” with an Energy Champion Award during NH Energy Week, celebrating its innovative design and impact.
Despite the cloudy skies during the event, Meissner pointed out that the array was still generating 1.4 megawatts of electricity—nearly one-third of its full capacity—showcasing the resilience and efficiency of the system even in less-than-ideal conditions. This project not only demonstrates the practical potential of solar energy in New Hampshire but also sets a precedent for future utility-scale renewable energy initiatives across the region!
