EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge announced that the Amazon Solar Farm Ohio – Fox Squirrel Solar project achieved full operational status in December 2024, with all three phases now actively delivering electricity to the PJM grid. Fox Squirrel Solar, a ground-mounted solar facility with total capacity of 577 MWAC/749 MWDC, is one of the largest utility-scale solar developments east of the Mississippi River.
Developed by EDF Renewables and owned in partnership with Enbridge, Fox Squirrel Solar will help address the growing energy needs of central Ohio. Located in Madison County, Fox Squirrel Solar’s 1.4 million panels and 159 inverters represent the largest onshore renewable energy project developed and built by EDF Renewables North America. During peak construction, about 650 workers were onsite installing approximately 10,000 panels per day adding up to nearly 1.5 million work hours.
The full generation capacity will be delivered to Amazon through power purchase agreements, which will help contribute to Amazon’s Climate Pledge commitment. As renewable energy commitments are increasingly embraced by corporations, solar projects like Fox Squirrel will help Ohio realize its goal of continuing to attract business and increasing economic growth in the state.
“We are delighted to announce the completion of EDF Renewables’ largest energy investment in North America – Fox Squirrel Solar,” said Kate O’Hair, senior VP for onshore development at EDF Renewables North America. “This project is a shining example of the power of partnerships between landowners, the local community and our project partners all working together towards a sustainable future.”
