250 MWac Taygete 1, part of 7X Energy, Inc.‘s 1,350 MWac development, is operating now. Congratulations 7X, Swinerton Renewable EnergyJinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc.! What is especially innovative is Nestle’s role as a tax equity investor, as well as the renewable electricity attributes purchaser of the project to achieve GHG emission targets, and using solar to manufacture specific consumer products:

“Nestlé is the sole tax equity investor for the Taygete I. This investment represents the company’s largest direct investment in a renewable energy project to date. In addition to its tax equity investment, Nestlé will purchase 100% of the renewable electricity attributes generated by the project’s energy production, estimated to be 750,000-megawatt-hours per year for 15 years. This renewable energy will help the company reduce carbon emissions while making household favorites like DiGiorno® pizza, Sweet Earth® meals, Purina® pet food”.

This project uses Nextracker Inc. smart tracker with advanced software such as TrueCapture and NX Navigator.
