CHICAGO (June 16, 2020) – Invenergy, a leading privately-held global developer and operator of sustainable energy solutions, today announced that the 74-megawatt Wilkinson Solar Energy Center began commercial operations at the end of 2019.
Located in Beaufort County, North Carolina, Wilkinson Solar Energy Center was developed and constructed by Invenergy and acquired by an affiliate of Dominion Energy Virginia. Invenergy entered into a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Microsoft for the full output of the Wilkinson project.
The project created approximately 400 construction jobs and will generate $20 million in local economic investment over 35 years through tax payments, landowner lease payments, and wages and benefits for employees.
“Invenergy is proud to achieve commercial operations at Wilkinson Solar Energy Center,” said Jim Shield, Invenergy’s EVP and Chief Commercial Officer. “Our relationship with Microsoft not only supports the company’s commitment to sustainability but also creates economic development opportunities for Beaufort County.”
Having contracted more than 3,600 megawatts of wind and solar capacity to support 20 different corporate customers, Invenergy is a leading partner in helping commercial and industrial renewable energy purchasers reach their strategic sustainability goals.
