Galesburg solar farm to power 700 homes
Galesburg is embracing another renewable energy source, the sun. The ribbon was cut on Blue Grama Solar, which is 17 acres of clean energy producers. It's expected to produce 4.7 megawatts of power from eight thousand panels. It's to keep up with a bigger need for power. 'What we're seeing in Illinois and across the country is both rising demand, we're seeing data centers and AI for the first time in frankly decades, raise the demand for electricity in a real way,' said Josh Bushinsky, Co-founder for Trajectory Energy Partners, a local developer for the project. 'At the same time, and because of that, electricity prices are going up.' The solar farm is the state's first community-driven, community first from the Illinois Shines Program, which is a state effort to develop renewable energy production. It's by the community, for the community. 'The community was brought in and local labor was used,' said Jess Collingsworth, the central policy director for Nexamp, the provider for the electricity produced by the farm. 'The community was brought in for the conversations and development of where it would be.' The mayor believes it'll help beyond producing energy. 'When you buy your power that's produced locally, your money's staying locally,' said Mayor Peter Schwartzman. 'The positive feedbacks are significant and you'll see the improvements in the downtown, see improvements in people staying in hotels. You'll see we're light on tax dollars to do many of the improvements that people wanna see.' Two other solar projects in the Galesburg area are in the works. 'This is just the tip of the iceberg,' said Schwartzman. Those interested can opt into the solar farm here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Boston, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nexamp, a leading national developer and operator of distributed solar and energy storage systems, has successfully closed a $340 million private placement debt refinancing with PGIM Private Capital (PPC), the private credit business of global asset manager PGIM. This transaction further solidifies Nexamp's position as an innovator in the renewable energy sector and enhances its financial position while providing flexibility for continued growth. In total, this refinancing covers a portfolio of 39 solar farms in seven states, representing 150 megawatts of solar generation and 37 megawatt-hours of storage. The deal also extends Nexamp's status as a leading force in the distributed solar market, where it owns and operates more than 1 gigawatt of solar power capacity across the United States, with several more gigawatts currently in construction or under development. 'We are pleased to partner with PPC on this important financing deal,' said Zaid Ashai, CEO of Nexamp.

This financing provides long-term stability and ensures we remain focused on advancing the energy transition with sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.' The deal provides several long-term benefits to Nexamp, including confirmation of institutional investor interest in both Nexamp and its growing community solar pipeline. The refinancing also allows Nexamp to streamline its reporting by consolidating its financial structure in a way that supports more efficient management of its growing portfolio of assets. As part of Nexamp's commitment to advancing energy independence across the U.S., the $107 million PPC Shelf Facility included in the deal gives Nexamp the flexibility to tap additional capital for future solar projects. Over the next three years, these funds will be used to support solar and storage projects across multiple states, further bolstering the company's efforts to bring new energy sources and job opportunities to communities nationwide.
