BENNINGTON — A community solar array mounted on the roof of the Vermont Mill Properties complex is now producing power to benefit its commercial and residential subscribers, the developer announced, hosting power for people as far east as Brattleboro and as far north as Poultney and Winhall.

Karen Jernigan, vice president for sales and marketing for Power Guru LLC, said the array atop the mill at 160 Benmont Ave. has a generating capacity of 120.7 kilowatts.

“Thirteen commercial and residential subscribers are fully offsetting their energy needs with this one array,” she said in an email. Power Guru’s Bennington Community Solar initiative applies to all Green Mountain Power customers, Jernigan said.
