Excelsior Energy Capital starts commercial operation of 100 MW Skyhawk Solar project in Tennessee

Excelsior Energy Capital has started the commercial operation of its 100 MW Skyhawk Solar photovoltaic project located southeast of Union City, near the Everett-Stewart Regional Airport in northwestern Tennessee, USA. 

The solar farm is expected to generate enough power to meet the demand of a pair of Google data centers in Tennessee and Alabama. Excelsior has partnered with Origis Energy for the construction of the solar arrays in the plant. Origins Services will be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the project.

The project is part of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Green Invest Program, which allows companies in TVA’s region, like Google, to purchase renewable energy credits and invest in green energy resources.
