Ampyr Energy USA has announced the signing of long-term power purchase agreements for two projects totalling 195MWp of utility scale solar energy generation in South Carolina.
The PPAs were executed with Duke Energy and include four hours of energy storage for one of the projects.
The execution of these contracts further demonstrates Ampyr Energy USA’s commitment to the US market and the Southeast region.
These projects advance the company’s goal to strengthen and grow its US renewable energy project pipeline.
Both projects will have a positive impact on the local economy by creating a significant number of construction jobs and also contributing to the local tax base for more than thirty years over their operating life.
Sumeet Bidani, chief development officer of Ampyr Energy USA, said: “Ampyr Energy USA is proud to be a part of the clean energy transition in the US and contribute towards the economic growth of the local communities in which we operate, while providing clean and reliable energy.
“We continue to build upon and consolidate our position as a committed developer of renewable energy projects across various regions in the US.
“These projects represent two of the more advanced stage projects in our portfolio, and once operational, will supply electricity to power about 30,000 homes in South Carolina.”
