MN8 Energy, an independent power producer based in the United States, has commenced commercial operations at two utility-scale solar photovoltaic installations with a combined capacity of 260 megawatts. Both facilities are covered by a long-term power purchase agreement with Microsoft, the technology giant.
The first site, the 120-megawatt Long Point Solar project, is situated in Brazoria County, Texas, and links to the ERCOT network. The second, the 140-megawatt American Beech project, is located in Halifax County, North Carolina, and will provide electricity to the PJM grid.
Texas has emerged as a frontrunner in solar PV expansion, with over 53 gigawatts of installed capacity and forecasts indicating it will lead in new solar PV additions over the coming five years. Major technology companies, including Microsoft, have been active in solar offtake deals in the state. Meta recently finalized a 180-megawatt PPA with Spanish IPP Zelestra, and Google recently purchased renewables developer Intersect to build a data center and energy complex powered by one gigawatt of solar PV, wind, and storage. Meta alone has executed more than a dozen solar offtake agreements in Texas over the last two years, either to directly power its operations or to compensate for other energy sources.
Moe Hanifi, senior vice president and head of revenue and commodities at MN8 Energy, stated that as digital infrastructure expands across the United States, energy solutions must keep pace. He noted that these projects introduce new solar capacity into two key power markets and underscore MN8’s role as a collaborator with Microsoft in achieving its sustainability objectives.
The addition of 260 megawatts of operational solar PV brings MN8’s total portfolio to nearly 4 gigawatts of operational and under-construction solar PV capacity, 1.5 gigawatt-hours of battery energy storage systems, and over 40 high-power EV charging stations across ten states. The IPP recently entered a toll agreement with California utility San Jose Clean Energy for 40 direct-current fast-charging ports across five California cities. Last month, the company raised $300 million to extend a corporate credit facility intended to support the development of its pipeline of solar PV and energy storage projects.
