" As a locally-owned electrical cooperative, we are dedicated to purchasing the communities that we offer. So when SolAmerica approached us regarding partnering with them on a project within our service location in Putnam County, we saw it as an ideal fit," said Ray Grinberg, CEO of Tri-County EMC. "This locally-produced solar energy will certainly allow us to continue to expand our gas mix by giving inexpensive solar energy for the next 25 years."

" This joint method to project growth shows just how tidy energy projects open value at every level," commented Jatin Khanna, Manager of Distributed Generation at First Solar. "We are proud to be powering Putnam Erickson 2 with technology made and created below in the United States."
