Alternus Clean Energy (NASDAQ: ALCE) (“Alternus”), a leading
utility-scale transatlantic, clean energy independent power
producer (IPP), proudly announces the successful activation of the
Omohundro Solar Project ("Omohundro") on December 28, 2023, by its
wholly owned subsidiary Lightwave Renewable LLC. This milestone was
celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, February 16
with Nashville Mayor, Freddie O’Connell and marks the completion of
the third operational asset in Alternus' collaboration with Metro
Water Services ("Metro") in Nashville, Tennessee, furthering the
city's commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
The solar installation will provide a
major portion of the energy needed for Metro Water Services’
operations at the Omohundro campus.
“It’s amazing to be here to help cut the ribbon on Metro’s
largest solar installation to date,” stated Nashville Mayor Freddie
O’Connell at Friday’s event. “This is something for all of the city
of Nashville to celebrate, we are taking one step closer to a
better energy future today. We want to transition government
operations to 100% renewable energy by 2041 and Metro Water
Services has led the way on this challenge.”
Vincent Browne, CEO of Alternus,
commented, "The activation of the Omohundro segment is the first
major step in our partnership with Metro Water Services and the
city of Nashville, and underscores our commitment to advancing
renewable energy initiatives in the U.S. We look forward to
continuing our collaborative efforts with Metro as we strive
towards a sustainable and environmentally conscious future."
Omohundro, with a total capacity of
2.6 MW, consists of two segments: Omohundro East (1.5MW) and
Omohundro West (1.1MW). These segments, secured under a 30-year
energy services agreement with Metro Water Services, will generate
clean, renewable energy to power the local water services, aligning
with Metro's dedication to sustainable practices.
Combined with the operational Central
project (0.44 MW) and Whites Creek project (0.96MW), the completion
of Omohundro marks the culmination of Phase 1 of a multi-phase
contract with Metro. Alternus has already initiated several other
clean energy projects in Tennessee as part of its ongoing
commitment to expanding renewable energy initiatives in the
U.S.
