We’re pleased to share that National Grid Renewables and Microsoft have executed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Portage Solar Project, a 250-megawatt development set to begin construction in 2025. This project will bring clean energy and economic benefits to Wisconsin, from new jobs to millions in tax revenue. “It’s exciting to see business development and economic growth in our neighboring state of Wisconsin,” said Blake Nixon, President of National Grid Renewables. Through our contract with Microsoft, we are providing Wisconsin residents direct and indirect revenue streams, as well as clean energy solutions. As part of the agreement with Microsoft, National Grid Renewables will donate an additional $20 million over the term of the agreement to a designated community fund to support under-resourced communities.
