Enel North America and Polaris have announced the start of operations at Enel’s Fence Post solar + storage, a 297 MW PV and 86 MW storage system project located in Navarro County, Texas. 

The project is supported by a 12-year VPPA. Polaris will purchase the electricity and associated RECs generated by a 22 MW portion of Fence Post Solar, matching approximately 40% of the company’s U.S. electrical use.

“Polaris shares Enel’s mission to bring more clean energy onto the grid,” says Stephen Pike, head of Enel North America’s renewable energy production business, Enel Green Power North America. “Across all sectors, leaders like Polaris are stepping up to secure the economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy. Enel offers the clean and flexible solutions businesses need to advance their sustainability goals.”

The solar project began operations in December, while the battery storage system is complete and undergoing final commissioning.

Coho Climate Advisors advised Polaris on this VPPA and supported the company in its project selection, analysis, negotiations and deal execution.

Has Anything Improved in the Last Two Years?

It depends on what you believe.

Fox News will tell you that our southern border is no longer being overrun, that we’ve discovered that vaccinations are unsafe, that we’re standing up against Sharia Law, we’re preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon, prices are coming down (or soon will be), Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people and that the U.S. is once again respected on the world stage.

We live in a country where tens of millions of idiots believe every word of this.

A Relief to be around Like-Minded People

Published

I met a guy today from a rural part of Central England–“nothing but farms and pubs,” as he put it.  His father was an epidemiologist working for the United Nations, and so, as a boy, he lived all over the world and grew up largely in developing countries that suffered from horrific diseases.

He and his wife had the conversation one would expect from such people:

  • Why are we so content to ignore climate change that is ruining our planet?
  • Why are people so indifferent to the suffering of others?
  • How is it possible that billionaires expect to live well here on Earth while 99.9% of us suffering with wildfires, devastating storms, blistering heat, losses of landmasses, and desertification?
  • At the end of the day, is money really that precious?

Obviously, not everyone thinks this way, but to be in something of a “lovefest” for just a few minutes was a great relief.
