EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge Announce Commercial Operation of Fox Squirrel Solar

EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge Inc, a leading North American energy infrastructure company (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB), announced that the Amazon Solar Farm Ohio - Fox Squirrel Solar project achieved full operational status in December 2024, with all three phases now actively delivering electricity to the PJM grid. Fox Squirrel Solar, a ground-mounted solar facility with total capacity of 577 MWac/749 MWdc, is one of the largest utility-scale solar developments east of the Mississippi River.

Developed by EDF Renewables and owned in partnership with Enbridge, Fox Squirrel Solar will help address the growing energy needs of central Ohio. Located in Madison County, Fox Squirrel Solar’s 1.4 million panels and 159 inverters represent the largest onshore renewable energy project developed and built by EDF Renewables North America. During peak construction, about 650 workers were onsite installing approximately 10,000 panels per day adding up to nearly 1.5 million work hours.

The full generation capacity will be delivered to Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) through power purchase agreements, which will help contribute to Amazon’s Climate Pledge commitment. As renewable energy commitments are increasingly embraced by corporations, solar projects like Fox Squirrel will help Ohio realize its goal of continuing to attract business and increasing economic growth in the state.

“We are delighted to announce the completion of EDF Renewables’ largest energy investment in North America - Fox Squirrel Solar,” commented Kate O’Hair, Senior Vice President for Onshore Development at EDF Renewables North America. “This project is a shining example of the power of partnerships between landowners, the local community and our project partners all working together towards a sustainable future. Our development partner, Geenex Solar, has been instrumental in making this project a reality. Fox Squirrel has brought hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars to Madison County throughout the development and construction phase. As we transition into the operational phase, we are committed to continuing to be a responsible and reliable neighbor and strengthening our environmental and community stewardship.”

“We are excited to celebrate the completion of the final phase of Fox Squirrel Solar, a key milestone in our expanded strategic partnership with EDF Renewables,” said Tom Carbone, Vice President, Power Business Development, Enbridge. “This project represents an important milestone in advancing Enbridge’s renewable energy strategy, reinforcing our leadership in the ongoing energy evolution. We’re proud to provide 100% of the power to Amazon to help provide clean, renewable energy for their operations and support their sustainability goals.”
