EDF Renewables North America Expands Partnership with Enbridge

EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge Inc. have announced an agreement that will see Enbridge become a 50 percent partner in the Fox Squirrel Solar Project. The project, located in Madison County, Ohio, is set to become EDF Renewables’ largest onshore renewable project and Ohio’s largest solar complex.

The Fox Squirrel Solar is a ground-mounted solar facility with a capacity of 749 MWdc/577 MWac. It is currently being constructed in three phases, with the initial phase set to be operational by year-end and the remainder by the end of 2024. The project has secured 20-year fixed-price power purchase agreements with a strong investment grade counterparty.

Enbridge’s investment in the first phase of the project demonstrates their commitment to renewable energy growth in North America; final investment decision on the following phases throughout 2024 are subject to certain conditions being met.
