20-year deal with Grant PUD to offtake 120MW from 2027 Invenergy has signed a 20-year PPA with the Grant County Public Utility District (Grant PUD) to offtake 120MW of power from the Quincy Solar Energy Center from 2027. Located near Moses Lake, Washington, Quincy Solar will support Grant PUD’s goal of securing 300MW of solar power generation by 2027. Over the life of the project, Quincy Solar is expected to contribute over US$27m to the local economy through local taxes, land costs and lease payments. John Mertlich, Grant PUD chief executive and general manager, said: As our county’s energy needs grow, our PPA with Invenergy’s Quincy Solar is another significant resource to meet local power demand. We look forward to working with Invenergy to provide affordable renewable energy to the grid and our customers. Laura Miner, senior vice president for renewable development at Invenergy, added: We are excited to partner with the Grant PUD to advance their generation goals and help meet local energy needs with homegrown solar power. We look forward to continuing to work with landowners, local officials, and the broader community to bring the benefits of Quincy Solar to Grant County residents. The Quincy Solar Energy Center is expected to begin construction in late 2025 and reach commercial operations by November 2027. The project will support up to 200 jobs during construction and approximately two full-time operations and maintenance positions. Quincy Solar will be Invenergy’s first solar facility to reach commercial operations in Washington. This brings Invenergy’s total energy generation capacity in the state to 860MW. |
