Taking the next step forward in its electric generation transition to a more diverse, balanced, and reliable portfolio, Northern Indiana Public Service Company LLC (NIPSCO) – a subsidiary of NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI), today announced the completion of another solar project in its electric generation fleet. Cavalry Solar is now online and operating, producing more cost-effective, cleaner energy for homes and businesses.
“The completion of Cavalry Solar, the third solar project in NIPSCO’s generating mix, is a crucial step in advancing our energy generation transition plan to provide sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable energy now and into the future,” said Vince Parisi, NIPSCO President and Chief Operating Officer. “The inclusion of battery energy storage is an example of the advancing technology we’re incorporating into our energy transition to best meet the needs of our customers.”
Cavalry Energy Center, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, developed and constructed the 200-megawatt (MW) solar facility with an additional 45 MW of battery energy storage capability located in White County, Ind.
“We are pleased to work with NIPSCO on this solar project, and we look forward to continue working with them to bring additional renewable energy projects to the Hoosier state in the coming years,” said Anthony Pedroni, vice president of renewables and storage development at NextEra Energy Resources, the world’s largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and the sun, and a world leader in battery energy storage.
The facility will produce enough energy to power approximately 60,000 homes, and it is expected to generate roughly $25 million in additional tax revenue for White County over the life of the project.
