位于MISO市场的150兆瓦Bee Hollow太阳能项目

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, National Grid Renewables announced the execution of a power purchase agreement with the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA) for its Bee Hollow Solar Project (Bee Hollow), a 150-megawatt (MW) development located in St. Clair County, Illinois.

2024年11月21日,明尼阿波利斯/PRNewswire/ - 今日,英国国家电网可再生能源公司宣布与伊利诺伊州市政电力代理(IMEA)就其Bee Hollow太阳能项目(Bee Hollow)签署了一项购电协议,该项目是位于伊利诺伊州圣克莱尔县的一个开发项目,容量为150兆瓦(MW)。

Anticipated to begin construction in 2025, Bee Hollow will join the previously announced Prairie Wolf Solar, located in nearby Coles County, Illinois, and will expand National Grid Renewables' operating solar portfolio in the state to 350 MW.

预计于2025年开始施工,Bee Hollow将加入之前宣布的位于伊利诺伊州科尔斯县附近的Prairie Wolf太阳能项目,将英国国家电网可再生能源公司在该州的太阳能运营组合扩大至350兆瓦。

"We're extremely proud of our deep roots in the Midwest, and our commitment to bringing clean, sustainable energy solutions to its residents remains firm," said Blake Nixon, President and CEO of National Grid Renewables. "The expansion of our portfolio in Illinois will further that commitment and we're excited to see the positive impacts the Bee Hollow Project will provide to local residents in the form of jobs, new tax revenue and charitable giving."

英国国家电网可再生能源公司总裁兼首席执行官布雷克·尼克松表示:“我们对美国中西部地区深厚的根基感到非常自豪,我们致力于为其居民提供清洁、可持续的能源解决方案的承诺仍然坚定不移。我们在伊利诺伊州投资组合的扩张将进一步加强这一承诺,我们对Bee Hollow项目将为当地居民提供工作机会、新税收和慈善捐助带来的正面影响感到兴奋。”

"The addition of the Bee Hollow solar project to our power portfolio significantly advances the IMEA Board's commitment to responsibly transitioning the agency's portfolio to more carbon-free generation resources," said Kevin Gaden, IMEA President and CEO. "Purchasing energy from Bee Hollow meets one of the strategies detailed in our agency's Sustainability Plan which, by 2050, seeks to reduce to net-zero the carbon emissions of the power supply we deliver to our member municipalities. Bee Hollow is a tremendous investment in renewable energy, and we're excited about this resource growth to serve our members over the long term."

IMEA总裁兼首席执行官凯文·加登表示:“将Bee Hollow太阳能项目纳入我们的电力组合,将大大推进IMEA董事会致力于将机构的组合负责地过渡到更多碳氧化物免费的发电资源的承诺。”“从Bee Hollow购买能源是我们机构可持续性计划中详细说明的策略之一,到2050年,我们的计划旨在减少将供应给我们会员市政机构的电力组合的碳排放量减至净零。 Bee Hollow是在可再生能源方面的巨大投资,我们对能够为成员长期服务的这一资源增长感到兴奋。”

Bee Hollow is anticipated to benefit local and statewide communities through the production of millions of dollars in new tax revenue and landowner income, the creation of new jobs, and local spending. The project community will also benefit from a dedicated charitable fund, which is pledged above and beyond any tax revenue delivered by the project. These charitable funds are unique to National Grid Renewables and exemplify their commitment to being good neighbors in their projects' host communities. In total, the direct economic impact of Bee Hollow is estimated to reach $34 million over the first 20 years of operations.

Bee Hollow太阳能项目有望通过产生数百万美元的新税收和地主收入、创造新的工作岗位和当地支出而惠及当地和全州社区。项目社区还将受益于专门的慈善基金,此基金承诺超过项目提供的任何税收。这些慈善资金是英国国家电网可再生能源公司独有的,体现了他们与项目所在社区成为好邻居的承诺。总体而言,Bee Hollow的直接经济影响预计将在运营的头20年达到3400万美元。
