Upon completion of its three phases, Fox Squirrel Solar's total capacity will reach 577MW.
EDF Renewables North America, a subsidiary of French utility EDF, and its partner Enbridge have commenced operations at the 150MW Fox Squirrel Solar Phase 1 in Madison County, Ohio, US.
Upon completion of its three planned phases by the end of 2024, the Fox Squirrel Solar project will reach 577MW capacity.
The expansion will address the growing power demands of central Ohio, which are projected to double by 2028.
The solar facility consists of 1.4 million solar panels and 159 inverters.
EDF Renewables North America onshore development senior vice-president Kate O’Hair stated: “The development and operation of Phase 1 marks a significant milestone in our journey to drive Ohio’s renewable energy future.
“With Fox Squirrel Solar Phase 1 now supplying renewable power to the PJM [Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland] grid, this project not only represents a substantial financial commitment but also highlights the remarkable collaboration between our team, the county and the local community. We take great pride in this collective effort.”
During the inauguration, Amazon secured power purchase agreements for the entire output of Fox Squirrel Solar Phase 1.
The agreement aligns with Amazon’s objective to operate entirely on renewable energy by 2030.
