Solar Alliance (SOLR) has completed a 1 megawatt solar share project for LG&E/KU in Kentucky.
The solar system, which consists of phase 3 and 4 of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company’s solar share facility in Simpsonville, is now fully operational and producing energy for subscribing customers.
Solar Alliance worked with Boyd CAT, a regional Caterpillar dealer, on the project as the two companies expand the portfolio of solar projects they are partnering on.
Eight 500-kilowatt solar share sections are planned for the Simpsonville facility for a total of 4 megawatts. Construction of each section is completed as it becomes fully subscribed. The utility is currently accepting enrollments for the fifth section, which is nearly 80 per cent subscribed.
Myke Clark, Solar Alliance’s CEO, commented,
“The solar share program illustrates LG&E and KU’s commitment to providing renewable energy to its customers and we are proud to support that initiative. The Kentucky solar market is growing rapidly, and we look forward to meeting that increasing demand. Our partnership with Boyd CAT continues to grow and positions us well to provide cost effective, clean energy to a growing number of utilities and businesses.”
Eileen Saunders, LG&E and KU’s Vice President, Customer Services, added,
“Watching the site develop and knowing it is a direct result of our customers’ interest and participation has been both exciting and rewarding. We developed this program in response to their desire to support local solar generation and we’re pleased to continue helping all of our customer categories advance their personal and professional sustainability goals.”
