Philadelphia Goes Green: Energix's 70-MW Solar Park Powers City
- Energix North America's Adams Solar park brings 70MW of clean energy to Philadelphia, helping the city reach its carbon-neutral goals.
Energix North America has launched a 70-MW solar park, the Adams Solar park, to supply the City of Philadelphia with clean energy. The park will help the city achieve its goal of carbon-neutral municipal operations and will be operated under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Philadelphia Energy Authority. The agreement is one of the largest municipal solar power offtake deals in the US and will provide the City with competitively priced electricity.
The Adams Solar park, located near Gettysburg, consists of 230,000 panels spread across a 700-acre site and will generate 150,000 MWh of clean power for the City of Philadelphia. The City aims to power all of its municipal facilities with 100% renewable energy by 2030 and achieve city-wide carbon neutrality by 2050, with its current energy portfolio already including close to 30% renewable electricity.
