Starkville Utilities has agreed to purchase 30 megawatts of solar energy, which is equivalent to 15% of Starkville’s annual electricity consumption. In addition to providing a local, clean and cost-effective renewable energy option for customers, the utility’s participation in Green Invest will help maintain the city’s Valley Sustainable Communities gold status.
“Green Invest is part of Starkville Utilities’ Future FOCUS initiative to ensure our customers have safe, reliable, affordable electricity that includes renewable options,” said Terry Kemp, general manager of Starkville Utilities. “This announcement represents a positive step forward in our partnership with TVA that will help us build a more diverse energy portfolio to power Starkville’s growth well into the future utilizing renewable energy.”
