Of the 3.5 GW of projects that AES completed, 1.6 GW are solar, 1.3 GW are wind and 0.6 GW are energy storage.
The projects included the 220 MW Great Cove Solar Energy Facilities in Franklin and Fulton counties commissioned in multiple phases.
It is the largest solar project in the Commonwealth and the University of Pennsylvania will purchase all electricity produced at the sites.
The project will generate enough energy to power 70% of the total electricity demand of Penn's academic campuses and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, helping to support the University's goal of achieving a 100% carbon neutral campus by 2042.
The project will also host a research study onsite in partnership with Penn's Environmental Innovations Initiative, which could offer the industry insight on best practices for soil health management on operational solar projects.
