"At Origis Energy, we take pride in delivering high-quality projects safely, on schedule, and in close partnership with our customers," said David Groleau, Senior Vice President of Origination at Origis Energy. "Reaching commercial operations at Wheatland reflects the strength of our development and execution platform and our continued commitment to providing reliable, cost-effective energy solutions for utilities and the communities they serve."
"Our long-term electric generation plan is focused on delivering reliable, affordable and diversified energy for our southwestern Indiana customers," said Shane Bradford, CenterPoint Energy's Vice President, Indiana Electric. "We appreciate working with Origis Energy to bring the Wheatland Solar project to commercial operations in support of that effort."
Construction of the Wheatland Solar project supported local economic development throughout Knox County. At peak, the project supported approximately 360 construction jobs, contributing to local employment and investment during the construction period.
Wheatland Solar was previously financed through a combination of tax equity and debt, including a tax equity commitment from J.P. Morgan and portfolio financing with MUFG.
