(Energy Analytics Institute, 1.Nov.2024) — Enbridge Inc. will fund US$168mn towards the third and final phase of the Fox Squirrel Solar project in Ohio, which is expected to enter service in late 2024 and generate 177MW of renewable power, Enbridge said 1 Nov. 2024 in its third-quarter 2024 (3Q:24) financial and operational statement.
Fox Squirrel Solar, a ground-mounted solar facility with total capacity of 749 MWdc/577 MWac, is being constructed in three phases in Madison County, Ohio; the initial phase generates 150 MWac of solar energy, according to Enbridge, which is working on the solar project in partnership with EDF Renewables.
Comprised of 1.4 million panels and 159 inverters in total, Fox Squirrel Solar represents the largest onshore renewable energy project developed and built by EDF Renewables North America.
All three phases of the project are supported by 20-year-fixed-price power purchase agreements with Amazon.
Enbridge said the second phase of the Fox Squirrel Solar project entered service in the 3Q:24 and is now delivering 250MW of electricity into the PJM grid.
