Campbell will lease the land to BNB, which will own the system and be responsible for its financing, construction, operation and maintenance.
Under the agreement, Campbell will purchase the electrical power generated by the system, which is expected to provide approximately 15% of the electricity the Napoleon Plant requires annually.
Campbell said that FirstEnergy Solutions will purchase the solar renewable energy credits from the project.
BNB said it is in final contract negotiations with SunPower for the engineering, procurement and construction of the project.
SunPower will install its SunPower Tracker system, using high efficiency solar modules.
Upon receiving all the approvals, construction on the photovoltaic array will begin in early June, and when complete, the system is estimated to produce more than 14.7mkWh during the first year of operation.
The project is expected to eliminate approximately 250,000 metric tons of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions in the region.
