Bucks County plans to build a solar energy farm on land it owns in Bristol Township. The solar energy farm is planned for a piece of open land behind the soon-to-be-constructed, 39,000-square-foot, two-story Lower Bucks County Government Services Center. The solar farm is proposed for an area that was once part of the Morton Thiokol operation at the property. The solar energy farm will not be used directly for the county facility, the energy will be sold to PECO for local use on its grid. It is estimated the project could save the county as much as $2.5 million in energy costs over 30 years. A final cost for the project and timeline were not presented.
