Harmony Community Solar Farm

Lena, Illinois, month X, 2025 — Solstice, a leading community solar provider and ENGIE North America (ENGIE), proudly announces the start of solar energy production of the 2.5 MW Harmony community solar farm, located in Lena, Illinois. Developed by ENGIE North America in collaboration with Microsoft and Solstice, this project is a pivotal step toward expanding access to clean, affordable solar energy for Illinois residents, particularly those in underserved communities.

The Harmony community solar farm is designed to bring significant savings to hundreds of low- to moderate-income families, with 60% of the project’s capacity reserved specifically for income-qualified Illinois residents, many of whom have traditionally been unable to access the benefits of renewable energy.

Now that the project has started generating power, subscribers will receive savings up to 60% on their monthly electric bills, bringing the financial benefits of the clean energy transition to households that might otherwise miss out.

A key element to the successful start-up of the Harmony community solar farm is the agreement by Rush University System for Health, to be the anchor subscriber of the project taking 1.6 million kWh annually — equivalent to the remaining 40% of the total energy output of the solar farm — Rush is demonstrating its dedication to sustainability and community health by significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

“Rush’s commitment to the Harmony community solar farm exemplifies the power of collaboration in advancing clean energy solutions,” said Brandon King, Vice President of Facilities, Real Estate, Planning, Design & Construction at Rush University System for Health. “As the anchor subscriber, Rush is proud to help ensure the long-term success and impact of this project, which not only promotes renewable energy but also provides tangible benefits to the communities we all serve.”

“We are delighted to continue to expand our collaboration with Microsoft to help accelerate the growth in clean energy,” said Caroline Mead, VP Power Marketing and Commercial Strategy, ENGIE. “The ability to deliver unique opportunities to expand access to renewables through projects like Harmony is especially powerful and reflects the deep commitment ENGIE and Microsoft have to an equitable energy transition. The agreement with Rush further strengthens the connection with the residents of Illinois.”


Solstice is proud to act as the essential bridge connecting both residential and anchor subscribers to the Harmony community solar farm, ensuring a seamless experience for customers. Interested residents, small businesses and nonprofits can easily enroll online at Solstice.us, joining the broader effort to make renewable energy accessible to everyone.

“These Illinois projects in collaboration with ENGIE are about more than just clean energy — they reflect our joint dedication to making solar power accessible to everyone in Illinois,” said Sandhya Murali, CEO of Solstice. “By ensuring that all residents, regardless of their income or living situation, can benefit from solar energy, we’re helping to create more connected and empowered communities throughout the state.”

The Harmony community solar farm marks a significant milestone in Illinois’ journey toward a brighter future.

ENGIE Powers Einstein Bros. Bagels with Round-the-Clock Renewable Energy

HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE) announced today a contract with Einstein Bros. Bagels, a significant step in its commitment to providing 24/7 renewable energy to commercial customers by 2030, reinforcing the Group’s recently reaffirmed ambition to offer round-the-clock clean energy solutions worldwide. With this contract that runs through May 2027, ENGIE intends to match 90% of the hourly electricity consumption for 25 Einstein Bros.® Bagels locations in Texas with Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a portfolio of wind and solar assets including ENGIE’s Live Oak Wind Project in Texas. ENGIE’s unique position as a developer and operator of both renewable and flexible generation across North America, in addition to its market-leading internal risk management function, facilitates its ability to be a pioneer in this space.

Norwood Medical adds ENGIE Wind Power to Sustainability Commitment

DAYTON and HOUSTON – Feb. 5, 2025 – Norwood Medical LLC (Dayton) and ENGIE Resources LLC, a subsidiary of ENGIE North America (ENGIE), announce a five-year renewable energy contract. The agreement brings renewable wind energy from ENGIE to Norwood Medical’s headquarters campus in Dayton.

Under the terms of a five-year agreement, Norwood Medical will initially match 50% of its electricity consumption at ¬¬¬¬¬four locations, increasing its commitment to 100% for eleven buildings over the term, including approximately 120,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from ENGIE’s Priddy Wind Project in Texas.

Norwood Medical will procure Green-e® Certified RECs that will ultimately deliver the equivalent environmental benefits of avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions from 52 million pounds of coal burned, or 47,223 metric tons of CO2*. Green-e® RECs are certified by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions to verify exclusive use of renewable electricity within an electricity market.

The agreement supports a Norwood Medical objective to reduce carbon emissions. “We have a goal of 50% reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 versus baseline year of 2021, and net zero by 2050,” said Jeremiah Allen, Vice President, Engineering. “Reducing our impact on the environment is vitally important. Leveraging renewable electricity will help us hit our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2021 levels.”

Serving as an advisor on this agreement is Statistical Energy (Dublin, OH). “We are proud to bring together two carbon champions,” said Michael Jackson, CEO/Partner, Statistical Energy. “This agreement is proof that renewable energy can be structured in a manner that addresses market volatility and meets the needs of a growing, commercial electricity customer with a commitment to reduce carbon through renewable energy.”

“Norwood asked us for a comprehensive analysis of their usage, plans for growth, historic prices and the forward fixed market. This led us to a structure with some market-based risk and float on the market, rather than to lock in a price now,” said Ron Cantlie, President/Partner at Statistical Energy. “Norwood chose optionality to lock in later, or not lock at all. It addresses the changing nature of supply and demand on the PJM grid.”

communities,” said Maggie Brennan, President and CEO.

NSCH is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) with three full-time sites and two school-based health
centers in Salem, Peabody, and Gloucester, serving 14,000 patients annually. NSCH provides highquality, culturally competent primary care, including medical, dental, behavioral health, and substance use
disorder services. NSCH also offers chronic disease management, health education, language
interpretation, and health insurance enrollment assistance to ensure accessible healthcare for all. NSCH
is committed to serving everyone, regardless of ability to pay, and uses a sliding fee scale for its services
based on family size and income.

Based on national Health Center Program data, FQHCs in the United States provide accessible and
comprehensive primary care to more than 30 million patients, or 8.3% of the population.

NSCH has also undertaken other environmental-focused project initiatives including: energy-efficient LED
light upgrades, implementing motion-sensor controlled lighting for exam rooms, fostering environmentally
friendly dining practices, and retaining a hybrid work model to help lower emissions created by long
commutes.

“We serve more than 200 hospitals across our footprint,” said Ted Conway, business development
manager at ENGIE Resources. “It’s an honor to serve this sector and we admire the commitment of
NSCH to provide vital community services and make a significant contribution to support renewable
energy.”

The Green-e® certified RECs purchased in the agreement will equal 100% of North Shore’s demand,
equivalent to the CO2 emissions from nearly 302,325 pounds of coal burned, or the greenhouse gas
emissions avoided by 95.3 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled.* NSCH will also achieve budget
certainty throughout the agreement term with a fixed price structure.

Green-e® RECs represent the environmental benefits of one MWh of renewable energy, and are certified
by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions. Certification ensures that RECs are properly accounted
for and that no double counting takes place.

Serving as advisor on the agreement is Voyager Power, Massachusetts. Voyager provides solutions
across the energy value chain and helps commercial and industrial customers to achieve sustainability
targets and energy compliance.
