Origin, TVA secures PPA for 200 MW solar project in Clay County

TVA has announced the selection of Origis Energy to develop a 200-megawatt solar farm in Clay County, Mississippi, to support Knoxville's renewable energy needs.

Origis Energy will supply solar energy through a long-term power purchase agreement via TVA's Green Invest program. Origis will develop, build, own and operate the plant using industry-leading land stewardship techniques. The project will create significant short- and long-term investments in the local community, including more than 250 peak construction jobs, with additional employment for three to five full-time operations and maintenance staff. Origis will complete the facility in late 2023, pending environmental reviews.
