PPL Renewable Energy is planning to design, construct and operate a 1.7-megawatt solar system for Schering-Plough Corporation in Summit, New Jersey. When completed, the green energy project will be one of the largest rooftop solar installations in the United States.

"PPL continues to increase its investment in renewable energy projects with a varied and growing portfolio of projects throughout New Jersey, the mid-Atlantic and New England," said Paul T. Champagne, president of PPL Energy Services Group. PPL Renewable Energy is a division of PPL Energy Services Group.

"Continued competition in the electric market will help fuel the growth of clean energy sources and make it possible for more projects like this to become a reality," he said.

With this project, PPL will own or control solar projects with a total installed capacity of about 10 megawatts. PPL continues to explore partnership opportunities to develop additional solar energy projects in New Jersey and throughout the 13-state power market managed by PJM Interconnection. The solar system will be built on eight rooftops on buildings throughout Schering-Plough's campus in Summit. PPL Renewable Energy will own and operate the system and supply power to Schering-Plough.
