Massachusetts Solar Energy Development Activity
Massachusetts currently has 504 active and operating utility-scale solar farms with a total capacity of 2,048.22 MW and an average capacity of 4.6 MW. Massachusetts also has an extensive pipeline for future development with 32 planned farms with a total capacity of 125.12 MW and 27 queued projects with a total capacity of 273.97 MW.
Overall, if all under construction, planned, queued, and site control farms go into operating status, Massachusetts will expand its capacity by 454.64 MW. In Massachusetts, the average solar farm size is 48.9 acres, producing 4.6 MW of electricity under ideal conditions.
