Long Point delivers new solar generation into the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) Houston load zone, one of the fastest-growing regions on the Texas grid. American Beech provides solar power to PJM Interconnection (PJM), supporting a market experiencing rapid infrastructure growth.
“As digital infrastructure scales across the U.S., energy solutions must scale with it,” said Moe Hanifi, Senior Vice President and Head of Revenue and Commodities at MN8 Energy. “These projects deliver new solar capacity into two critical power markets and highlight MN8’s role as a partner to Microsoft in meeting their sustainability goals.”
Completion of both projects underscores MN8’s track record of delivering contracted solar solutions for Microsoft and demonstrates the Company’s ability to originate, build, and operate at the speed and scale required by hyperscale energy customers.
Long Point and American Beech will bring millions of dollars to local governments through tax payments, ensuring schools, road maintenance and other critical local services are well-funded. The two projects each created more than 300 construction jobs and nearly a dozen permanent positions. MN8 has also contracted a locally based provider for long-term maintenance and vegetation management at Long Point.
