ROCKY HILL, Conn., March 13, 2006 - The single largest solar photovoltaic (PV) project ever undertaken in the state will go forward as a result of the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund's (CCEF) recent approval to provide $1.7 million in funding for the project. The 433 kilowatt commercial solar photovoltaic system will be developed in eastern Connecticut on the site of the distribution center of a major national company. CCEF funded the project under its $21 million On-site Renewable Distributed Generation Program. The decision represents a milestone: CCEF has now supported development of more than 100 solar PV systems statewide, which have a total nameplate capacity exceeding one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts of electricity).

ROCKY HILL, Conn., December 15, 2005 - The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF), a ratepayer fund administered by Connecticut Innovations Inc.
