Vanderbilt University to purchase power from 35 MW solar PV project in Bedford County
Nashville Electric Service (NES), Vanderbilt University, and the Tennessee Valley Authority have entered into an agreement for the purchase of energy from a 35 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Bedford County.
The Vanderbilt University has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with NES for the energy produced by the solar project developed by the Silicon Ranch Corporation.
The agreement is the first one under the Green Invest programme of TVA. TVA has awarded Nashville-based solar developer Silicon Ranch a contract to build, own, and operate a 35 MW installation in Bedford County, Tennessee, pending completion of environmental review.
The solar installation is expected to come online in fall 2022, with planned interconnection to the grid through Duck River Electric Membership Corporation’s distribution system.
Silicon Ranch is a unit of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
