Innergex secures PPA for 200 MW Hillcrest solar project in Brown County

Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. has signed a long-term power purchase agreement with an investment grade rated US corporation for its 200 MWAC Hillcrest solar photovoltaic project located in Brown County, Ohio. Sales under the PPA will start upon the facility reaching commercial operation, which is expected in 2020.

Hillcrest will be located on approximately 2,100 acres of existing pasture and agricultural land in Green Township, part of Brown County, north of Mount Orab, an area rich in solar resource and adjacent to a point of interconnection in the regional transmission system. The project will consist of a field with arrays of more than 600,000 photovoltaic solar panels arranged in rows on single-axis tracking foundations, for an estimated annual power generation of about 410,000 MWh. An interconnection service agreement is in place.

Innergex is required not to disclose the terms and conditions of the agreement until the other party has disseminated the information.
