Posted
MERRILLVILLE – Northern Indiana Public Service Co. announced Tuesday that they have signed a build transfer agreement to bring 200 megawatts of solar energy to Indiana with the Elliot Solar project.

“We are proud to partner with Capital Dynamics on another solar energy project in our home state,” said Mike Hooper, NIPSCO president in a news release. “The addition of Elliot Solar to NIPSCO’s portfolio is a major step in our transition to lower-cost, cleaner and reliable energy for our customers.”

The Elliot Solar project, in Gibson County, is expected to begin construction in summer 2022 and begin commercial operations in summer 2023. Capital Dynamics will construct the project, and NIPSCO will enter into a joint venture once construction is complete.
