Electrify America will have an EV charging network with % renewable solar generation.
Virginia-based Electrify America announced a -year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with developer Terra-Gen to build a renewable solar photovoltaic power generation project in San Bernardino County, California. The new solar project is expected to generate megawatts at maximum solar capacity or an estimated annual production of , megawatt-hours of clean , renewable energy.
It is projected to produce enough % renewable energy annually to more than offset the power currently delivered annually to Electrify America customers charging on its extensive network. The solar project is expected to come online in late and be operational by mid-
Although the new solar installation will not be online until mid-, Electrify America's charging network is already supported by % renewable energy starting in April by purchasing environmental cert C Level Executive List ificates from existing renewable generation.
By becoming the largest open grid in North America to enter into a VPPA, Electrify America will support the key sustainability goal of “additionally,” meaning this agreement would result in additional new generation of renewable energy. Electrify America is purchasing and retiring all environmental certificates associated with the new solar project over a -year period, moving away from the usual approach of purchasing environmental certificates from a third-party provider on an unbundled basis, not least to support additional power generation. renewable.
“Electrify America's business model and purpose have always been at the forefront of efforts to reduce emissions by enabling electric mobility,” said Giovanni Palazzo, president and CEO of Electrify America. “Our commitment to customers and a sustainable future go hand in hand, which is why we are investing in renewable energy generation to commit to a zero carbon footprint associated with the energy delivered to our customers.”
Electrify America 's first solar project in Southern California's Mojave Desert may also be expanded at Terra-Gen's option to include a battery energy storage system to further increase the delivery of renewable energy to the grid during times where more expensive peaking power plants normally would.
