Developed in partnership between Geenex and ET Capital, the Halifax solar power project is located in Dominion North Carolina Power’s service territory and entered service in December 2014.
Duke Energy Renewables president Greg Wolf said: "ET Solar and Geenex have created a quality solar facility, and we are excited to add it to our more than 60-megawatts of successful operating projects in Eastern North Carolina.
"We also appreciate and plan to support their community-centric vision for the project."
Duke Energy Renewables will now own and operate the solar project, which was developed on the site of a decommissioned airport in Halifax County.
ET Solar president and CEO Dennis She said: "The solar project will inject an estimated $75 million into Halifax County between 2014 and 2029, and it created more than 150 jobs during peak construction."
Power generated from the project will be sold to a utility under a 15-year agreement.
Featuring about 100,000 ET Solar and Chint solar modules, the plant can produce enough electricity to power approximately 3,500 homes.
