(New York, NY, December 21, 2017) - Lendlease, a leading international property and infrastructure group, is pleased to announce that it has completed and turned over 8.5 MW solar project for East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) and its 16 owner-member cooperatives. The project, located in Clark County, is comprised of over 32,000 solar panels on a 60 acre site.
“We at Lendlease are excited about delivering this project safely to our client,” said Craig Carson, General Manager, Lendlease Energy Development. “This project will provide innovative new renewable energy options to over one million Kentucky residents. Our team takes great pride in knowing that we have brought a sustainable source of energy to so many.”
The 8.5-megawatt project is a cooperative solar arrangement, whereby retail members of participating electric distribution cooperative can purchase a license from one of EKPC’s 16 owner-member cooperatives for a portion of the solar project’s generating capacity. Consumers then would receive credits on their monthly electric bill for the value of the energy from their proportional licensed share.
“The scope and size of this project demonstrates Lendlease’s capabilities in delivering renewable energy projects in the United States,” said Ross Metersky, Project Director, Lendlease Energy Development. “EKPC is an excellent cooperative and we proud to deliver this project to EKPC and its members.
