During its construction and operation, True North will create over 200 local jobs and is expected to pay over $40 million in property taxes over 25 years in this state, in which the company already operates more than 1,250 MW of onshore wind facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Powell Creek, a 202.5 MW solar farm under construction in Putnam County, Ohio, will create up to 400 jobs during its construction. Additional local revenue to communities resulting from this project exceeds $38 million over the life of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith solar projects like True North and Powell Creek, we are strengthening our mission of helping the U.S. meet its ambitious clean energy goals,\u201d said Pedro Azagra, CEO of AVANGRID. \u201cThese solar farms, and many more throughout the U.S., will also boost local economies by creating quality jobs while providing clean, affordable and renewable energy for business and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With more than 8.6 GW of installed renewable capacity, AVANGRID is the third largest renewable energy operator in the U.S. In total, the company has a strong pipeline of more than 25 GW under development, encompassing solar, onshore wind, offshore wind, and battery energy storage.<\/p>\n<p><em>News item from AVANGRID<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVANGRID, a sustainable energy company, started construction on two new solar farms in Texas and Ohio, which will generate 523.5 MW of clean and affordable power to these states.
