Clenera starts commercial operation of 127.5 MW Wapello Solar project in Louisa County
Clenera, LLC has announced that its 127.5 MWdc Wapello Solar photovoltaic project in Louisa County, Iowa has been delivering energy to the grid.
The project was developed by Clēnera, in partnership with RES (Renewable Energy Systems) to construct Wapello Solar in six months, creating approximately 250 jobs at peak construction. Despite beginning construction during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wapello Solar progressed with little to no delays.
Located on nearly 800 acres, Wapello Solar features 318,000 bifacial solar panels supplied by Risen Energy that are fixed to FTC Solar’s Voyager single-axis trackers, which are optimized for bifacial performance. The 34 SunGrow inverters work to convert the 127.5 megawatts of direct current into alternating current.
Central Iowa Power Cooperative (CIPCO) is purchasing the demand and energy from Wapello Solar through an exclusive 25-year power purchase agreement.
