Origis Energy signs PPA for 150 MW Golden Triangle II solar PV project with 50 MW battery storage

The Tennessee Valley Authority’s nationally recognized Green Invest program has secured a Facebook agreement for the 150 MW Golden Triangle II solar photovoltaic facility with 50 MW battery storage located in Lowndes County, Mississipi.

TVA is partnering with Origis Energy to develop the 150 MW solar and 50 MW battery storage facility in Lowndes County. Once operational, the project will supply power to Facebook’s two data centers in the Tennessee Valley.

Origis Energy, through a long-term power purchase agreement with TVA that was signed on Facebook’s behalf, will own and operate the project. The project is scheduled to be complete before the end of  2023

The project is currently pending environmental reviews.
