C2 Energy Capital completes largest solar project installed on a landfill in Tennessee

C2 Energy Capital, LLC announced yesterday the completion of a 2.7 megawatt (MW) solar power generation plant located near the City of Somerville, Tenn., the largest solar project installed on a landfill in Tennessee.

The company provided financing and support services for the development and construction of the plant, which was installed on a capped landfill leased from the County of Fayette.

“C2 Energy Capital stepped into a challenging solar project and enabled it to stay on schedule,” Fayette County Mayor Rhea Taylor said. “Their experience and dedication to working through the complexities of the project were notable.”

The power generated from the project will be sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement.

“Solar facilities installed on landfills are some of the most difficult to construct,” Candice Michalowicz, co-founder and managing member of C2 Energy Capital, said. “Our team’s effort and experience in completing this project turned previously unusable land to a clean, solar power system, a tax-paying property, and created jobs. We are very proud to have participated in the effort.”
