Intersect Power, LLC, ("Intersect Power"), announced the commercial operation of its Radian solar project, located in Brown County, TX, on May 16, 2023. "Renewable energy is a critical piece of the overall American energy production story. Investing in clean energy is a smart business decision and Texascontinues to lead the way in strong investments, development and production," said Sheldon Kimber, Intersect Power's CEO. "Texas clean energy production has spurred significant economic development and job creation in the state while bringing energy security and independence to the U.S." 

The Radian solar project:

• Utilizes First Solar panels,
• Created more than 500 construction jobs over the three-year construction cycle; and,
• Generates 415 MWp/320 MWac of solar energy, enough to power more than 114,000 homes.
