Large-Capacity Solar Projects

The Wheatland Solar Project, developed by Origis Energy, is a 150 MW_ac utility-scale solar initiative located in Knox County, Indiana. The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2026 and is supported by a power purchase agreement with CenterPoint Energy. It forms part of a broader portfolio financing package secured with global financial institutions, including MUFG, which underscores the commitment of both Origis Energy and its financing partners to advancing renewable energy and decarbonization efforts. Origis Energy is responsible for the development, ownership, and operation of the Wheatland project, reflecting its integrated approach to managing large-scale renewable infrastructure.

The project employs advanced solar photovoltaic technologies designed to optimize energy yield and overall system efficiency. The substantial financing package exceeding $530 million, which supports Wheatland along with other renewable projects, illustrates significant institutional confidence in the scalability and bankability of such renewable energy solutions. This initiative aligns with broader industry trends focused on reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy independence while also contributing to local economic growth and the expansion of the renewable capacity in the Midwestern United States.
