Misenheimer Solar Park | EDPR North America

Misenheimer Solar Park will have an installed capacity of 74 megawatts (MW). Misenheimer's generation will be equivalent to the consumption of more than 12,000 North Carolina homes.

Misenheimer Solar Park will yield significant economic benefits to the community in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment.

Misenheimer represents a capital investment of approximately $70 million+ and will disperse millions in cumulative payments to local governments through the life of the project. An estimated $3.5 million+ in taxes will be paid to support local schools and community services. Hundreds of construction jobs will be created as well as multiple permanent jobs.

Misenheimer Solar Park will provide a stable form of income to local landowners. $27 million+ dollars will be paid to the solar park’s landowners through the life of the project.

Misenheimer Solar Park is currently exploring having approximately 200,000 photovoltaic panels sited on 500 acres. Photovoltaic solar cells have no moving parts and convert sunlight directly into electricity via the photoelectric effect. This direct-current electricity is then collected, transformed into alternating-current, and finally enters the electrical grid through a substation after being converted to the proper voltage.
