Origis Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) have announced a PPA to expand their solar and storage portfolio in Mississippi.
Origis would develop, construct and operate Hope Solar + Storage, a 200 MW solar and 200 MW storage facility, in Clay County, and sell the power to TVA. The project is slated for commercial operation in 2028.
“This partnership connects us to those we serve and is good news for multiple stakeholders,” says Johan Vanhee, chief commercial and procurement officer for Origis Energy.
“Industrial customers benefit by meeting their decarbonization goals. Residential customers benefit from clean energy that contributes to reliable, affordable, predictable rates. Communities near these projects benefit through the economic activity of construction and job growth from industries these projects attract.”
Prior to this announcement, Origis’ and TVA’s Mississippi renewable energy portfolio included three projects: Golden Triangle II, a 150 MW solar project with 50 MW battery storage in Lowndes County, reached commercial operation earlier this year. Under construction are Golden Triangle I, in Lowndes County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage, with commercial operation date expected next year and Optimist in Clay County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage, with commercial operation date expected in 2026.
Origis Energy is responsible for development, construction and operation of the projects for TVA. Each site will deliver clean energy at competitive rates under PPAs executed between TVA and Origis.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
