NorthStar Solar Park Powers General Motors Operations

• NorthStar Clean Energy powers General Motors' operations with a 180-MW solar park in Arkansas, leading the way in renewable energy and sustainability goals.

NorthStar Clean Energy has opened a 180-MW solar park in Arkansas to power General Motors' operations in the MISO territory. The Newport PV farm is one of the largest single-axis solar sites in the state and is expected to generate enough electricity to cover the consumption of over 30,000 Arkansas homes annually. The solar park will operate under a 15-year power purchase agreement with General Motors, providing electricity for the company's facilities in Michigan and Missouri.

General Motors aims to reduce its Scope 2 energy emissions globally by using renewable electricity. The carmaker has secured energy sourcing agreements to ensure 100% renewable power supply for all its US sites by the end of 2025. The director of Global Energy Strategy for General Motors, Rob Threlkeld, stated that expanding their renewable electricity portfolio is a significant step towards reducing their carbon footprint and achieving broader sustainability goals.
