en.Wedoany.com Reported - MN8 Energy, an independent U.S. power producer, announced that two utility-scale solar projects with a combined capacity of 260 megawatts alternating current (MWac) have entered commercial operation in the United States, supplying power under long-term agreements with Microsoft. The two facilities—the 120MW Long Point Solar Project in Brazoria County, Texas, and the 140MW American Beech Station in Halifax County, North Carolina—have begun delivering electricity to their respective regional grids.
The Long Point project connects to the Houston load zone managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), a region experiencing significant growth in electricity demand. The American Beech project supplies power to the PJM Interconnection, an area undergoing rapid infrastructure expansion.
According to MN8 Energy, Long Point and American Beech are expected to contribute tax revenue to local governments, supporting schools and public services. Each project created over 300 jobs during construction and established nearly 12 permanent positions. The company also hired a local supplier to provide ongoing maintenance and vegetation management services at the Long Point project site.
The completion of these two projects highlights MN8's track record in delivering contracted solar power to Microsoft, as well as its ability to develop, build, and manage large-scale projects to meet the needs of major energy consumers. Moe Hanifi, Senior Vice President and Head of Revenue and Commodities at MN8 Energy, stated that as digital infrastructure expands across the United States, energy solutions must also scale accordingly; these projects bring new solar capacity to two key electricity markets and underscore MN8's role as a Microsoft partner in advancing its sustainability goals.
Headquartered in New York, MN8 Energy is an independent producer in the U.S. solar and energy storage sector. The company owns approximately 4 GW of solar capacity (operational or under development), along with 1.5 gigawatt-hours of battery storage, and operates over 40 high-power electric vehicle charging stations across ten states.
