The solar facility, which began commercial operations in August 2025 and was developed by Tigon Power Corp. (Tigon Power) and operated under SSREC, supplies 52 MW of clean power to Corenergy, Vivant Energy’s retail electricity arm. The investment reinforces Vivant Energy’s commitment to the Department of Energy’s call for stronger public-private partnerships that ensure the benefits of the energy transition are realized through local development and capacity building. This also underscores the conglomerate’s commitment to clean energy aligned with its goal to increase its renewable energy mix to 30% by 2030.
