Last week Invenergy presented a $7,500 donation to the Seymour Volunteer Fire Department as part of our ribbon-cutting event for the Diversion Wind Energy Center in Baylor County, TX. “This donation honors the volunteer emergency responders who provide us with a safe place to live and work, while putting their own safety on the line to protect our families,” said Bristi Cure, Senior Vice President of Renewable Development for Invenergy. Invenergy invests more than $573 million annually in our home communities. As part of this commitment, we support organizations that play a vital role in the safety of our employees, our facilities and our neighbors. 

This holiday season, Invenergy is donating to the GRID Alternatives Energy for All program—which delivers affordable, no-cost solar power to underserved communities—on behalf of our customers, partners and friends. We're grateful to everyone who has played a role in helping us deliver cleaner, more reliable, more affordable energy this year and look forward to all we can accomplish in 2025!

We read every day that demand for energy is growing, and it’s no secret that energy tax credits fuel investment in U.S. energy infrastructure to meet it. The American Clean Power Association (ACP)’s latest report underscores the criticality of maintaining these tax credits – and more importantly a stable policy environment – in order to drive America’s ability to establish energy independence and create jobs and economic benefits across the U.S. At Invenergy, we’re proud to play a leading role in this transformation as we work to deliver projects that make our energy systems more reliable and secure.

The U.S. electricity grid is struggling to keep up with skyrocketing energy demand. We’re working on the technology solutions needed to rise to the challenge: new transmission lines.   North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)’s 10-year forward assessment highlights the reliability risks of rapidly growing power demand from data centers and manufacturing growth in the U.S.   New generation projects—and the transmission lines necessary to transport that energy—are crucial to ensuring more reliable, affordable energy meets U.S. demand. The work we’re doing today is essential to our energy security in the future.   Read more via E&E News: https://lnkd.in/gNQ9db3x

Construction is underway on Invenergy’s Hashknife Solar Energy Center in Navajo County, Arizona! This 475 MW solar + storage energy center will power over 110,000 homes and is one of the largest solar facilities in the state. Hashknife will create hundreds of jobs during construction, invest over $100M into the community, and strengthen Arizona’s clean energy future. We celebrated this milestone with our partners at Arizona Public Service - APS and local leaders, and honored the Navajo County Sheriffs Posse Search and Rescue with a donation during the groundbreaking event.

The Ontario government is expanding Canada’s largest energy procurement by 50%—adding 7,500 MW of clean, reliable power to meet soaring demand.   Invenergy leadership including Michael Polsky, Founder & CEO, came to Toronto to meet with the Ontario Minister of Energy and Electrification Stephen Lecce to talk about our vast capabilities to help meet Ontario’s electricity needs, attract economic development and provide affordable power.   Pictured (left to right): Michael Polsky, Invenergy Founder & CEO; Ontario Minister of Energy and Electrification, Minister Stephen Lecce; James J Murphy, Invenergy Senior Vice President, Development, and Chris Orzel, Invenergy Senior Vice President, Origination at the Ontario legislature.
