EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge have announced that Phase 1 of Fox Squirrel Solar in Ohio is operational and delivering electricity to the PJM grid. 

Fox Squirrel Solar, a ground-mounted solar facility with total capacity of 749 MW, is being constructed in three phases in Madison County, Ohio. The initial phase generates 150 MW, says the company.

Comprised of 1.4 million panels and 159 inverters in total, the project represents the largest onshore renewable energy project developed and built by EDF Renewables North America.

During peak construction of the first phase, 650 workers were onsite installing 10,000 panels per day.

Enbridge invested in the first phase and plans to reach final investment decision on the following phases through this year, assuming certain conditions are met. The project has secured 20-year PPAs with an investment-grade counterparty for the full generation capacity.

“We are pleased to bring into service the first phase of the Fox Squirrel solar project as part of our expanded strategic partnership with EDF Renewables,” says Enbridge’s Matthew Akman. “The development of this project will support local communities and deliver clean power for our customer. The project underscores our energy transition leadership and highlights our rigorous capital allocation process which targets projects that are immediately accretive to DCF per share and complementary to our growth outlook.”

A judge has ruled that New York State’s climate “superfund,” modeled after laws that provide money to clean up toxic waste, runs counter to federal law and is therefore invalid.

Eventually, we will have laws that force companies whose actions are ruining the planet to pay for the remediation that must happen to avert environmental collapse. In the meanwhile, we need to expect the fossil fuel industry to continue its ruthless legal attack such legislation.

There Is No Single Act that Would Crash Trump’s Approval Rating

The idea expressed at left, i.e., that Trump’s arch–or any single action Trump has taken towards self-aggrandizement is causing is approval rate to plummet–is fallacious.

Sure, a great many of his similar efforts, e.g., putting his name on the Kennedy Center, or issuing coins with his image on them, rankled our souls as Americans.

But let’s face facts, Trump’s approval rating is hovering at just above 30%, meaning that about one-third of U.S. voters don’t care that he’s a petty, spoiled child, a convicted felon, and one of the most despicable people in the history of humankind.
