Anthem to offtake power from 20 MW Hanover County solar field in Virginia

Anthem, Inc. has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement with SunEnergy1 for the output from a new 182-acre (20-megawatt) solar field located in Hanover County, Virginia.

The Hanover County solar field is nearly complete and is expected to be fully operational later this year. Combined with an additional solar field in North Carolina coming online in early 2021, Anthem will have supported the development of more than 1,000 acres of solar panels that will generate more than 225,000 megawatt-hours of electricity per year.

Anthem expects the solar field developments to generate enough renewable electricity to power all Anthem offices and data centers across the country.
