Microsoft signs 300 MW solar agreement with Nexamp

Nexamp announced it will develop a portfolio of roughly 100 new projects across the U.S. as part of a long-term agreement with Microsoft. Spanning communities across the country, these solar farms will add approximately 300 MWAC of distributed clean energy capacity to local grids — enough to power nearly 100,000 homes annually.

Under the agreement, Nexamp will develop, construct and operate projects across five independent system operator regions, including New England, New York, Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern and Western states. Microsoft will purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) from the solar portfolio to help meet its commitment to become carbon-negative by 2030.

The projects, scheduled over the next four years, will be constructed in communities that have not yet experienced the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy. Each project will feature at least one community benefit, such as:

  • Energy bill savings for many low- and moderate-income households
  • Workforce development and training for careers in renewable energy
  • Local investments through Sustain Our Future Foundation

“This collaboration with Microsoft accelerates our mission to make solar accessible to everyone — regardless of income or homeownership — while also creating local jobs and economic opportunity,” said Zaid Ashai, CEO of Nexamp. “Microsoft’s support enables us to scale up solar in many communities across the country, connecting thousands of new households to the clean energy revolution while also advancing American energy independence.”
