This project will be implemented to a total of six states including Ohio, where the project will be kickstarted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EDP Renewables is a global leader in the renewable energy sector and the fourth largest producer worldwide. <strong>is currently present in 28 international markets:<\/strong>&nbsp;Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Greece,&nbsp;Germany, Hungary,&nbsp;Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico,&nbsp;Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 650 MWp (500 MWac) of distributed solar energy will automatically make this project the largest US corporate sponsorship of distributed PV. In other words this is the largest corporate sponsorship for distributed generation signed between two companies in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witnessing partnerships of this caliber, the latest U.S. Clean Energy Market Outlook from BloombergNEF (BNEF) predicted that &nbsp;the U.S. is poised to deliver 600 GW of new solar, wind, and energy storage capacity by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is expected to advance environmental justice through resourceful action plans that will benefits nearly 25,000 low-to-moderate income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EDP Renewables will be responsible for implementing the first phase of the project that will include development, construction, and operation of the solar PV parks. The first phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.\u00a0However, Google will partially fund the first phase of the project through the acquisition of Impact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/green-power-markets\/renewable-energy-certificates-recs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)<\/a>, an instrument that certifies that a given buyer has the rights to the environmental and social benefits of the renewable electricity produced by a renewable project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This partnership between Google and EDP Renewables is a huge step in the promotion of energy democracy, democratize access to cleaner energy, making its benefits accessible to underserved communities.&nbsp;It is a unique model that is solely focused on providing support to low-moderate income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhat we heard through interviews with local community leaders and Environmental Justice advocates was that the disproportionate impact of high energy burden remains a primary barrier to an equitable energy transition.
