Monday, 15 February 2021 Elk Hill Solar 2, a solar farm in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, developed under a PPA between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and Lightsource bp, is now in commercial operation.
The Elk Hill Solar 2 solar farm was developed and is owned and operated by Lightsource bp and is one of two solar farms that SEPTA and Lightsource bp announced on Earth Day in 2020. The solar farms will generate an estimated 27,377 MWh of clean and affordable solar energy, or nearly 10 percent of SEPTA’s 380,000 MWh per year electricity demand - the equivalent of providing energy to more than 2,500 US homes annually.
