- Intersect Power commences operation on the 224 MWp Athos III solar park.
- The solar farm’s output is predicted to be sufficient to supply 94,000 nearby houses with electricity each year.
According to a clean energy company Intersect Power LLC, the 224 MWp Athos III solar park in California’s Riverside County has begun commercial operations.
In December 2022, the Blythe Mesa Solar II photovoltaic (PV) facility was utterly operational. It contains a 112-MW integrated battery storage component, and the entire plant occupies over 3,600 acres (1,457 hectares) of private property. The solar farm’s output is predicted to be sufficient to supply 94,000 nearby houses with electricity each year.
In 2020, Intersect Power purchased the Athos III project from RRG Renewables, and work on it got the following year underway.
Athos III is a component of Intersect Power’s short-term portfolio, which includes 1.4 GWh of co-located battery storage and 2.2 GW of solar power. The corporation acquired $ 2.6 billion in debt, tax equity, and financial obligations in November of last year to help develop and manage the particular portfolio of six projects, including Athos III. The other plants are all expected to start up this year.
