All three phases of the 577-megawatt (MW) Amazon Solar Farm Ohio-Fox Squirrel Solar project are operational, according to developer EDF Renewables.
The renewable energy company, which owns the solar farm with partner Enbridge, on Jan. 6 said Fox Squirrel 3 reached full operational status in December 2024. The 150-MW Fox Squirrel 1 went online in December 2023. It was followed by the 250-MW Fox Squirrel 2 in July 2024. All power generated at the solar farm will be delivered to Amazon, which has power purchase agreements in place, according to a news release.
“This project is a shining example of the power of partnerships between landowners, the local community and our project partners all working together towards a sustainable future,” said Kate O’Hair, senior vice president for onshore development at EDF Renewables North America. “Our development partner, Geenex Solar, has been instrumental in making this project a reality.”
Located in Madison County, Ohio, the solar farm has 1.4 million solar panels and nearly 160 inverters. It is considered one of the largest utility-scale solar developments east of the Mississippi River.
