Indiana approves development of 50 MW solar PV project
Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana has announced that it has received approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to build a 50-megawatt universal solar array in eastern Spencer County as part of Vectren’s long-term electric generation transition plan. The solar farm will be located near Troy, Indiana, on approximately 300 acres and will consist of about 150,000 solar panels.
Vectren’s 4 MW of solar generation already in service and this planned facility, which should be fully operational in the fall of 2020, are expected to generate enough power to meet the needs of more than 12,000 households per year.
Construction to support the solar farm is expected to begin later in 2019. First Solar will build the solar farm. Vectren worked with Orion Renewable Power Resources LLC, a joint venture between Orion Renewable Energy Group and MAP® Renewable Energy, to select, secure and develop the property.
