Representatives from Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company announced that rPlus Energies recently broke ground on Graphite Solar I, a 104 MWdc /80 MWac utility-scale solar project in Carbon County, Utah. The project will contribute renewable power to Facebook’s new data center in Eagle Mountain.
The rPlus Energies team was joined for the groundbreaking by project owner Greenbacker and by Sundt Construction, which will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction lead for the project.
The project supports Facebook’s goal of 100% renewable energy for its operations and is expected to reach commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Graphite is being built in Wellington, Utah, a town with several coal mines, a recently retired coal plant and a long history of generating power for the area. With the construction of this solar facility, the community further diversifies its contributions to the local energy infrastructure and catalyzes the region’s economic development.
