EDF Renewables North America commenced commercial operations at the Huck Finn solar project in December 2024.
Developed for Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, the project has a 200 MWac / 270 MWdc capacity and is now delivering electricity.
The project is expected to generate over $14 million in revenue for local communities in Audrain and Ralls Counties and meet the energy needs of over 37,000 homes at full capacity. It will also support the local power grid and reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
In August 2024, EDF Renewables North America and Power Sustainable Energy Infrastructure (PSEI) announced their strategic investment, with PSEI acquiring a 50% share in the Desert Quartzite solar-plus-storage project in collaboration with Potentia Renewables.
