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.

Faith and Reason
People have been dancing around the faith/reason duality for more than 2000 years. Aristotle worked out the rules of logic around 350 BCE, and Thomas Aquinas assumed the task of using them to prove the existence of God in the 13th Century CE. Descartes came along a couple of hundred years later, and made some improvements on all this, but we’re still left with very little.
As I told my nephew once when he was assigned a college paper on this, “You can’t have your metaphysical cake and eat it too. You either believe in things for which there is evidence, or you don’t.”
Moreover, as shown at left, faith runs headlong into logical inconsistencies.

Trumpism Entering the World
At left is how I feel about Trumpism. I may be limited in how I can go about preventing it from entering the world, but I’ll be damned if it will happen through me.
