Construction of what would be the largest solar array in Kentucky is underway. National Grid Renewables on Dec. 14 said the company’s 160-MW Unbridled project, located in Webster and Henderson counties about 40 miles south of Evansville, Indiana, and 160 miles southwest of Louisville, is expected to enter commercial operation next year.
Unbridled is National Grid’s first project in Kentucky, a state long dependent on coal-fired generation for its electricity supply. The solar farm has a power purchase agreement in place with Big Rivers Electric Corp., which is partnering with Wanzek Construction on the project’s build.
