"her time with the college group was, in her opinion, one of the best (if
not THE best) things she's ever done for her hockey."
"skating several times a week with
excellent players, in creative drills and fast-paced game settings made a big difference in my game."
"It is a great learning atmosphere; how relaxed everyone is, while at the same

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 8, 2011 |
The edge sports center goes solar:
Takes a shot at housing a 485kw solar pv array
Bedford, MA: The Edge Sports Center, located in Bedford, MA, has just inked a deal with New Hampshire based Revolution Energy to install a 485 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV) array on the roof of the sports center. The deal with Revolution will see the Edge generate roughly one half its electric needs from their own rooftop, while helping to substantially reduce the arena’s environmental footprint. This development will be one of the largest solar arrays on a sports arena in the State and will be an example to other sports facilities in the region.
Built in 2007, The Edge has provided a wide variety of athletic opportunities for the surrounding communities, including being the home of the East Coast Wizards, Lexington/Bedford Youth Hockey, and the Bedford and Concord-Carlisle High School hockey teams. In Brian DeVellis’ eyes, one of the Edge’s founding members, this project brings the facility into a new class of its own for athletics and sustainability.
“Over the past year we have been introduced to the significant benefits and opportunities potentially available to The Edge by going solar,” said DeVellis. “We’ve seen a lot of the State embrace this technology and we said ‘why not us?’ We save energy, we save money, and we can serve as a positive example to the young athletes who use the facility regarding the benefits of sustainability.”
The solar array is expected to generate roughly 575,000 kW a year according to Revolution Energy. Under a Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, Revolution will install, own, and maintain the array while providing for the electricity needs through the agreement. Over the past several years PPA’s have gained significant ground in the solar world given the ability for the host, in this case the Edge Sports Center, to simply pay for the energy generated from the array and avoid the up-front cost for the installation of the system. In this project The Edge has agreed to purchase all of the generated electricity the array will produce from Revolution Energy for the next twenty years, at a cost lower than they would otherwise pay for energy from the grid.
“We see this project as a win for everyone at The Edge,” said DeVellis. “The athletes that use our facility will be playing in an arena that understands the need for a more sustainable way to continue providing the high quality sports programs we have become known for.”
Revolution Energy ( www.rev-en.com), a Dover, NH, based renewable energy developer feels the iron is hot for the Edge to decide to move forward with the project.
“The current opportunities available to facilities like The Edge is significant,” says Mike Behrmann, principal and co-founder of Revolution Energy. “The members at The Edge have seen the potential to save energy, along with being a model for sustainability for athletic facilities. They took a shot and will score big.”
Representatives expect the development to begin within the next several weeks with a likely commissioning date sometime in the late winter or early spring.
