KeyState Renewables and Monarch Private Capital have secured $100m in tax equity funding with Pine Gate Renewables for the Glover Creek solar project.
Pine Gate Renewables develops, owns and operates utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the US.
Located near Bowling Green, Kentucky, the 76.65MWdc [megawatts defined conditions] facility is the first solar plant in Metcalfe County.
It is the second project to be approved by the state’s Electric Generation and Transmission Siting Board.
The 76MW solar facility will displace 95 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its expected 40-year life.
Monarch Private Capital Renewable Energy partner and managing director Bryan Didier stated: “We are pleased to partner with KeyState and Pine Gate to bring clean power to this Kentucky community and help remake the local economy that has lost fossil fuel-related jobs.
