Origis Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) have reached commercial operations on Golden Triangle II, the first of three solar plus storage projects in the companies’ Mississippi portfolio.
The 150 MW solar project with 50 MW battery storage began generating electricity earlier this month.
“Solar energy enhances Mississippi’s economic competitiveness, and Origis is removing limits to a cleaner, brighter future by building the region’s clean-energy infrastructure,” says Origis’ Johan Vanhee. “Golden Triangle II is the first step in fostering a zero-carbon economy across the state that supports our nation’s economic and energy security goals.”
Two other Origis projects in Mississippi are expected to be completed next year: Golden Triangle I, in Lowndes County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage; and Optimist, in Clay County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage.
Origis developed, constructed and will operate the three projects for TVA, which is set to deliver energy under PPAs executed between the companies.
RES is providing construction services to Origis for the portfolio. Utility-scale battery storage for each site is provided by Prevalon Energy.

The many millions of participants in today’s “No Kings” rallies around the world are doing everything possible to avoid hostility between the event supporters and Trump supporters who claim it promotes a “hatred of America” and “domestic terrorism.”
Whether these days of hate and oppression will persist for a “long, long time,” or whether the pendulum is about to swing back the other way remains to be seen.
It’s certainly a terrible time to be an American.
I just saw a question on social media: do you want your tax dollars going to feed someone else’s kids??
Yes. I’d like to live in a world in which no kids go hungry, and I don’t have a problem contributing to create that world.
This may sound like a tall order, especially given the variability of wealth in the world’s countries.
But let’s stick with the U.S. for a minute. In the US, nearly 14 million children live in food-insecure households, a statistic that has risen recently, with some reports indicating that one in five children face hunger.
This is disgraceful.
So again, yes. Please sign me up to allocate a portion of my tax dollars to feeding hungry kids.
