Bloomington, Ind. -- When the sun shines, Hoosier Energy and its member systems beam. Hoosier Energy, in partnership with its 18 electric cooperative members, recently announced a 10-megawatt solar program that will bring the benefits of solar power to member consumers throughout southern Indiana and southeastern Illinois.
The project consists of 10 one-megawatt solar arrays to be installed across member service territories over the next two years. Construction of the first installation is expected to begin in New Castle, IN later this month. Collectively, the solar "farms" will provide approximately 20,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy annually for the 300,000 member consumers served by Hoosier Energy members. The average home in Indiana uses about 1,000 kWh per month.
