Birch Creek Energy has completed financing and full operation of Earp Solar, a 47 MW utility scale solar project located in Warren County, Ill.
The project, which connects to Ameren Illinois, is the first to become fully financed and operational in Birch Creek’s independent power producer (IPP) entity.
“Bringing Earp Solar to completion is a transformational event for Birch Creek,” says Dan Siegel, CEO of Birch Creek.
“We announced our IPP strategy mid 2023, and since then have worked aggressively to complete the construction and financing of six projects in MISO territory totaling 342 MW. Earp Solar represents the first of these projects and we are grateful to our partners who helped get us here.”
Tax equity was arranged through Foss & Co. Permanent debt was provided by West Town Bank & Trust. Construction capital was underwritten and funded by Pathward.

To Be a Citizen of the World
Sure, there have been many other people who have lived according to the beliefs expressed here by philosopher and American revolutionary Thomas Paine, but their numbers don’t begin to compare with those who think of themselves as patriots of the country of their birth and adherents to the religion they were assigned by their parents.
What a terrible shame. It’s easy to imagine a world of peace and harmony, but it sure seems an incredible challenge to get there. This is especially true today, on a planet that is increasingly led by fascist dictators, and a population where ignorance, nationalism, and hate is heating up by the day.

America’s Top Military Are Disgusted by Trump
Virtually all top-ranking retired military brass view Trump as shown at left. On top of that, Hegseth has publicly fired all current generals and admirals who are not loyal to Trump, as the entire world watched the purge.
