| Short description: |
This list tracks completed projects where renewable energy systems have been installed on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utility-scale systems, roof-top systems, and systems used for onsite power, including to power the cleanup activities. Summary statistics of the known installations are provided below. This resource is for informational purposes only. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of renewable energy projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with the parties involved. It may not be a comprehensive list of all projects completed on contaminated land. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergy@epa.gov.
