CleanChoice Energy ("CleanChoice"), a farm-to-table clean energy company that empowers people and businesses to access clean and renewable energy, has executed on the first stage of its mission to develop and own a portfolio of solar generating facilities by acquiring a project in Franklin County, Mercersburg, Penn., with a projected installed capacity of 25.15 MWdc. This is CleanChoice's first acquisition as part of its long term ownership strategy.
This solar project sits on 168 acres in Franklin County and will add renewable energy to the PJM electric grid via FirstEnergy. CleanChoice anticipates commencing construction shortly at the site and aims to begin producing energy in the last quarter of 2024 - generating enough power to supply 4,500 homes. This acquisition complements CleanChoice's existing 500 MW development portfolio and executes on CleanChoice's strategic expansion in the PJM, NY, and NE ISOs.
"This is an important growth milestone for CleanChoice Energy as we make a strategic shift in our company's direction - by now owning our own solar projects that deliver clean energy to the electric grid," said Zoe Gamble, President of CleanChoice Energy. "The solar project is the first of several planned projects as we begin to realize our strategy for a farm-to-table buildout that will enable us to make renewable energy more accessible for more people."
With this acquisition, CleanChoice secures its role as the first 100% independent green gen-tailer in the United States -- generating 100% renewable power and selling directly to retail customers. CleanChoice currently connects hundreds of thousands of households across the U.S. with easy, convenient, 100% pollution-free energy, and is striving toward a cleaner future.
