Intersect Power has announced commercial operation of its Lumina Solar project, located in Scurry County, Texas.
The project generates 828 MW, enough to power more than 243,000 homes for one year, says the company. Built with First Solar panels, the project created more than 900 jobs at peak construction.
“Renewable energy is a critical piece of the overall American energy production story and Texas continues to lead the way in development and production,” says Sheldon Kimber, Intersect Power CEO. “We are proud to own and operate our now fully operational 2.2 gigawatt solar plus 1.4 gigawatt hour storage portfolio in Texas and California, which has helped drive significant economic development and job creation while bringing energy security and independence to our country.”
Renewable energy credits generated by the Lumina project will be purchased by two Fortune 100 companies. Funding for the project’s construction and operations was secured as part of the broader portfolio financing announced last September, when Intersect Power closed on portfolio level term debt, tax equity and construction financing commitments.
The portfolio term debt was provided by certain funds and accounts managed by HPS Investment Partners and other co-Investors. Tax equity was provided by U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance and two Fortune 100 companies. Construction debt was provided by Coordinating Lead Arrangers MUFG and Santander Corporate & Investment Banking, along with CoBank, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Bank of America, Helaba and Nord/LB as joint lead arrangers.
Intersect and its partners were represented by the following counsel and advisors on the deals: Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe represented Intersect as lead counsel and Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as Intersect’s special tax counsel; CCA Capital advised Intersect on the tax equity transactions; Greenberg Traurig served as counsel to U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance; and Winston & Strawn served as counsel to the construction lenders.

With each passing day, Trump’s rhetoric reveals to an even greater degree his cruelty, his vindictiveness, and most of all, his lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution. The only thing he has on his side is his capacity to mirror the hate and ignorance of his MAGA base.
We used to be proud of our country.
I’ve been to Japan. They’re sharp people.
At the very least, they don’t have people stupid enough to indiscriminately shoot water all over a village because of a kitchen fire.
I hope I never have the displeasure to meet someone stupid enough to believe that this device:
a) eliminates food waste and lowers grocery bills (unwanted food is thrown into this machine vs. the garbage), and
b) eliminates all waste. It uses a great deal of electricity. Does your garbage can or compost pile do that?
