New York, New York, May 28, 2019 – C2 Energy Capital, LLC, a rapidly growing investor in renewable energy and storage assets, announced today the completion of the largest solar project installed on a landfill in Tennessee. C2 Energy Capital provided financing and support services for the development and construction of the 2.7 MW solar power generation plant located just outside of the City of Somerville, TN. The solar plant was installed on a capped landfill leased from the County of Fayette.

“C2 Energy Capital stepped into a challenging solar project and enabled it to stay on schedule,” said Rhea Taylor, Fayette County Mayor. “Their experience and dedication to working through the complexities of the project were notable.”

Robert Turner, Administrator for the Town of Somerville, said, “Ultimately, our community is proud to be a part of the RE–Powering America’s Land initiative, with counties across the US siting renewable energy projects on unproductive lands and deriving environmental and economic benefits for their communities”.
he power generated from the system will be sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement. The Somerville renewable energy plant is projected to generate enough electricity to power 333 homes and offset the same amount of carbon as 46,000 trees.

Solar FlexRack is Exhibiting at Solar Power Southeast in Atlanta

Youngstown, OH, May 20, 2019 – Solar FlexRack™, a division of Northern States Metals and an innovative leader in photovoltaic mounting and solar tracker solutions, will be exhibiting at Solar Power Southeast. The region’s largest solar and storage event will be held May 29 – 30 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Solar FlexRack will be presenting information on their industry-leading solar tracker products and project services at Booth 221. More than 700 are expected to attend the two-day event.

The conference comes at a time when the region is experiencing exponential growth in solar. The state of Georgia has increased its solar footprint and moved up in ranking from 35 nationwide to the 11^th state in the country today. According to the new economic report from the NCSEA, solar can bring significant tax revenues to counties enabling infrastructure investments in parts of states that typically have not seen this kind of support and are in need of it.*

“Solar in the Southeast Report announced a forecast of 17,000 MW by 2021 indicating the next few years will bring continued growth in solar installations in this part of the country,” said Steve Daniel, Executive Vice President of Solar FlexRack. “With decades of experience and more than 2 GW installed worldwide, Solar FlexRack is uniquely positioned to help solar companies in these states with their racking and tracker needs. We look forward to a productive conference.”

Solar Power Southeast is presented by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), and the event’s proceeds support the organizations’ year-round research and education activities, as well as SEIA’s advocacy efforts. Solar Power Southeast will provide attendees with regional market trends, policy updates, education sessions and the ability to connect with the region’s leaders in the solar industry.

Walmart Executed Agreements for 46 Solar Projects Across the US with C2 Energy Capital

New York, New York, May 8th, 2019 – C2 Energy Capital, LLC announced today that it executed 46 Power Purchase Agreements and leases with Walmart Inc. to provide solar power at the retailer’s operations in five states. These agreements represent a tangible commitment by Walmart to achieve the retailer’s goal to have 50 percent of its operations powered by renewable energy by 2025. The solar installations will produce more than 65,000,000 kWh of renewable energy annually, enough energy to power nearly 5,500 homes, and are expected to supply approximately 10-60 percent of each stores’ overall electricity use.

“Solar is a vital component of Walmart’s expanding renewable energy portfolio,” said Mark Vanderhelm, vice president of energy for Walmart Inc. “Walmart plans to tirelessly pursue renewable energy projects that are right for our customers, our business and the environment. These planned projects with C2 Energy Capital are moving us in the right direction toward our renewable energy goals.”

This landmark commercial solar deal comes one year after Walmart chose C2 Energy Capital to install 13 solar projects in South Carolina, some of the first projects to take advantage of solar incentives in the state. The rooftop projects are all currently in operation, with the exception of a ground-mount project that is underway at a Walmart distribution center in Laurens, SC.

“Walmart is a seasoned expert at onsite solar generation, and they have high expectations for their vendor partners. We are honored to be a part of their renewable energy program, and the important steps they are taking that will benefit the local communities and the environment,” said Candice Michalowicz, Co-founder and Managing Member of C2.
