EDP Renewables has completed the construction of the 200MW Riverstart solar farm in the US state of Indiana.
The company also closed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Hoosier Energy Cooperative, which will use the electricity generated to supply communities in central and southern Indiana and south-eastern Illinois.

The project, located in Randolph County, is the largest solar farm by capacity in the state of Indiana and generates energy equivalent to the average consumption of more than 36,000 homes per year.
Construction has resulted in the creation of 700 jobs in Randolph County.
In addition, several permanent on-site jobs will support the routine operations and maintenance of the solar farm, EDPR said.
