Polaris Clean Energy has completed the 120-megawatt Hart Solar Project in Osceola County, Michigan, generating clean power sufficient to meet the needs of over 21,000 households. Executive Energy Services and the Michigan Public Power Agency (MPPA) have signed a power purchase agreement for a portion of the Hart Solar Project's electricity output.

"Harth Solar represents a significant investment in Michigan's energy future, demonstrating how strong partnerships can help deliver clean energy solutions to communities across the state," said Brian Hartman, President and CEO of NorthStar Clean Energy. "By collaborating with organizations such as Executive Energy Services and MPPA, we are helping clients achieve their energy goals while strengthening Michigan's energy infrastructure through increased renewable power generation. We are proud to celebrate the project's completion and the positive impact it will have on communities for years to come.". ”

The project created over 300 construction jobs and will generate tax revenue for local services and infrastructure. Hart Township also received approximately $600,000 from EGLE's "Renewable Energy Ready Community" incentive program to fund community improvement projects. Additionally, the CMS Energy Foundation donated $100,000 to the Lakeshore Food Club, a local food bank, to further support community well-being and access to essential resources.

Patrick Borland, CEO and General Manager of MPPA, stated: "Hart Solar exemplifies MPPA's commitment to helping our members secure reliable, economical, and carbon-free power supply resources, thereby strengthening and realizing their long-term pledge to diversify their power supply portfolios." "Through collective action, public power communities of all sizes can share the advantages necessary to achieve economies of scale, making utility-scale renewable energy projects like Hart Solar a practical and long-term resource for their customers and communities."
