Origis Energy has closed on $71 million in tax equity financing with U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance for its 75 MW Rice Creek Solar project in Putnam County, Fla.
The project is contracted with the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) for 12 of their participating member municipal utilities.
“U.S. Bank’s expertise and commitment to the renewable energy market is helping us realize our large solar portfolio” says Vikas Anand, CEO of Origis Energy.
“Rice Creek is another example of their support empowering us to scale effectively and bring clean energy projects online. We applaud FMPA for adding more cost-effective energy resources to meet the growing electricity demand of millions of Floridians, and U.S. Bank for supporting the project.”
Rice Creek is the third solar site in the Florida Municipal Solar Project. Origis Energy is the builder, owner and operator of the project.
Latham & Watkins represented Origis Energy in the transaction, with Akerman serving as local counsel. Sheppard Mullin acted as U.S. Bank’s Counsel, with Balch & Bingham serving as local counsel.

There are two types of people. OK, there may be many different types of people, but there are at least two.
First are those of us who stand for the idea: live and let live. We don’t deliberately step on ants, and we support the rights of the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere to enter the United States to escape starvation and the threat of death by the Mexican drug cartels to pick our crops and live here, for months at a time, to live in the U.S.
Until Donald Trump rose to the U.S. presidency and gave us all permission to be our worst selves, virtually all of us felt this way. Were migrants a problem before about 10 years ago?
The other type is those like Christian Castro, who takes (took, past tense) great delight in tormenting the most world’s poorest and most desperate.
The story here from the New York Times:
Law enforcement officials on Friday arrested an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant this year and lying about it.
The agent, Christian J. Castro, 52, was caught in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down, according to the Hennepin County attorney’s office, which had charged him this month with four counts of second-degree assault. He faces an additional charge of filing a false police report.
The shooting, on Jan. 14, set off violent protests at the height of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in Minnesota this past winter.
“Today’s arrest is a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro,” Mary Moriarty, the attorney in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis, said in a statement.
It’s amazing how often we hear that the Democratic party’s platform can’t be “We’re Not Trump.”
Of course, I agree that Democrats have to stand up for lower prices, quality education, affordable healthcare, etc. But right now, the critical agenda item is removing this criminal sociopath from public office.
Until Donald Trump rose to power, I probably would have said climate change.
Now, I would say it’s world fascism, as the world’s power powerful nation, at least at this point, is no longer a democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
The planet is faced with rule by sociopathic dictators with absolute authority.
