Congratulations to our client, STAG Industrial, on the completion of solar installations in Illinois and Massachusetts

Sherin and Lodgen congratulates our client, STAG Industrial (“STAG”), on the completion of its first onsite solar installation in Illinois, and its fifth solar installation in Massachusetts. The projects are part of community solar programs and will provide low-cost renewable energy to local homes and businesses. Facilitated by Black Bear Energy in partnership with STAG, and developed by Green Street Power Partners (“GSPP”), these systems have an aggregate capacity of 3.5 MW and will generate over 4.4 million kWh of electricity annually – the equivalent of powering nearly 361 homes with solar.

Construction on both projects began in July. With the addition of these sites, STAG now hosts over 13.5 MW of solar nationally.

The Sherin and Lodgen team, led by managing partner Douglas M. Henry and partner Jennifer L. Ioli, continues to represent STAG in the rollout of a nationwide solar rooftop program.
