A few days ago, to commemorate the construction commencement of its Copperhead Solar & Storage Project, 150 megawatt (MW) solar and 100 MWh megawatt hour (MWh) storage project in Falls County, Texas, National Grid Renewables gathered with its fellow project partners and landowners. During the groundbreaking event, they also announced a 140 megawatt (MW) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with The Hershey Company for Copperhead. This is the second PPA between The Hershey Company and National Grid Renewables after The Hershey Company’s Noble solar PPA was announced in 2021. Edison Energy worked advisedly on environmental sustainability initiatives as well as selections of renewable energy resources like National Grid Renewables’ Copperhead. “Together with customers like The Hershey Company, National Grid Renewables is helping to build a clean, fair and affordable energy future,” stated Blake Nixon, President for National Grid Renewables. “Projects like Copperhead promote sustainability and economic vitality at both global and local levels. Communities like those in the Falls County, Texas area can anticipate economic benefits for years to come as a result of welcoming renewable energy projects.
