Ever.green Partners with Wells Fargo to Support 28MW Solar Project in South Carolina

Strategic Insights -

Ever.green, a leading developer of renewable energy solutions, has partnered with Wells Fargo to support a 28-megawatt (MW) solar project in Lee County, South Carolina. The project, developed by Headwater Energy, is set to generate approximately 50,000 MWh of electricity annually, enough to power 3,000 homes. This partnership demonstrates the growing demand for corporate renewable energy solutions and the importance of accelerating the energy transition.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Bishopville solar project in South Carolina is a 28MW solar installation developed by Headwater Energy, supported by Ever.green through a long-term purchase of High-Impact Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) by Wells Fargo.
  • The project will generate approximately 50,000 MWh of electricity annually, enough to power 3,000 homes.
  • Ever.green's High-Impact RECs are sourced from yet-built clean energy projects via long-term, fixed-price forward contracts that are material to the projects' financeability.
  • The Bishopville project uses low-carbon, domestically manufactured solar panels, created new U.S. manufacturing jobs, and strengthened the domestic energy supply chain.
  • A comprehensive environmental assessment ensured compliance with biodiversity and land use protections, including the safeguarding of wetlands and floodplains through best management practices.
  • The project features non-reflective panels and habitat preservation efforts, minimizing impacts on 12 migratory bird species.
  • At the end of its useful life, the site will be fully restored with native vegetation to preserve local ecosystems.
  • This project is an example of how forward-thinking buyers, like Wells Fargo, can accelerate the energy transition while advancing grid resilience.
