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.

Intersect Power’s 828 MW Lumina Project in Texas Reaches Operation
The only one in America whose life is improved by mass deportation is Donald Trump.
Ignorant and hateful people (the MAGA base) love the idea of punishing people with brown skin. Yet working class white supremacists actually lose financially, as prices rise due to loss of workers in low-income jobs in agriculture, restauranting, childcare, landscaping, construction, hospitality, etc.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
