Local leaders, community groups, and landowners celebrated the official launch of the Winfield Solar Project alongside executives from Qcells and Cordelio Power. Located in rural Lincoln County, Missouri, this 150-megawatt AC facility has already achieved commercial operation last month.
Under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA), the Winfield Project will deliver 100% of its generated electricity to Microsoft, helping this tech industry leader meet its growing energy demands with renewable power while preserving grid capacity for Missouri's households and small businesses.
The Winfield project was designed and constructed by Qcells, incorporating solar modules produced at the company's Georgia facility.
Amid surging energy demand and increasing pressure on the grid for households, businesses, and farmers, the 150-megawatt clean energy project in Winfield will directly support Microsoft's operations—reducing strain on the local grid and demonstrating the power of solar energy to deliver reliable, affordable power to areas in greatest need.
