Country Acres Clean Power, an affiliate of Enlight Renewable Energy’s Clenera Holdings subsidiary, has entered into agreements connected to a new project under development in Placer County, Calif.
The project is expected to have an installed capacity of 392 MW DC / 344 MW AC of solar energy and 688 MWh of energy storage. The agreements include a busbar PPA with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, under which Country Acres will sell the solar energy produced by the facility for a 30-year term and energy storage for a 20-year term.
In addition to the executed PPA, Country Acres has also entered into an interconnection agreement with the utility district. Upon permit completion, construction is expected to begin next year, with commercial operations commencing in 2026.
The project is expected to provide zero carbon electricity to approximately 80,000 homes annually and is launching an agrivoltaic pilot program on-site, to be jointly developed for both solar and agriculture and meant to benefit surrounding properties.
“We are excited to work with an excellent partner in SMUD, a leader in providing affordable, clean energy to California residents that is highly regarded for its environmental stewardship,” says Jason Ellsworth, Clenera’s CEO. “This project, which now enters our mature portfolio substantially derisked, highlights the strong demand for solar and storage across our offtaker base.”
“This project, which represents our first project in California since acquiring Clenera, further strengthens our market leadership in the Western U.S and adds to our Mature Portfolio, while demonstrating visibility through 2026 via the conversion of our high-quality pipeline,” adds Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight.

Country Acres Signs Agreements for CA Solar, Storage Project
We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.
