Indiana reaps benefits of American-made energy investment as Lightsource bp\u2019s Honeysuckle Solar goes online<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 188-megawatt solar project bolsters U.S. energy security and workforce development, with domestic manufacturers and union career paths<\/li>\n
  • Home-grown power progresses energy independence along with a diversified, reliable electricity supply<\/li>\n
  • Power contract with Google furthers corporate investment into Indiana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Indiana is harvesting benefits from 188 megawatts of new clean energy generation, as Lightsource bp\u2019s Honeysuckle solar project in St. Joseph County enters commercial operation. Supporting our nation\u2019s made-in-America supply chain while leveraging 85% local labor, the privately funded solar farm demonstrates the tangible benefits of investing in home-grown renewable energy.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWith our project partners, we are supporting the rapidly growing<\/a> U.S. solar manufacturing sector, local unions, and investing in rural America,\u201d said Emilie Wangerman, COO of Lightsource bp USA. \u201cHoneysuckle Solar showcases these and other quantifiable benefits Americans are deriving from the Inflation Reduction Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Access to renewable energy also supports corporate investment into communities. Lightsource bp and Google have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the electricity from Honeysuckle Solar, on the heels of Google\u2019s announcement that they are expanding their Midwest presence with a $2 billion data center campus in Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe have an ambitious goal to operate every Google campus on clean electricity every hour of every day by 2030, which will include our Fort Wayne data center once it comes online,\u201d said Amanda Peterson Corio, Google\u2019s Global Head of Data Center Energy. \u201cWe look forward to working with Lightsource bp to support our Indiana operations with clean energy and drive continued economic impact in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
