Ørsted Announces Solar and Storage Tax Equity Investment from J.P. Morgan

Ørsted, a leading U.S. clean energy developer, announced a tax equity investment from J.P. Morgan for a portfolio of solar and storage assets in California and Texas. The portfolio includes Eleven Mile Solar Center (300 MW solar, 300 MW / 1200 MWh storage) in California and Sparta Solar (250 MW solar) in Texas. The investment represents one of the largest solar and storage tax equity transactions using a combined PTC and ITC structure since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The Eleven Mile Solar Center will receive a one-time ITC for its battery storage system, while the solar farm will generate PTCs over ten years. The partnership with J.P. Morgan includes the option for tax credit transferability, allowing corporate buyers to support clean energy projects and optimize tax liability. The investment will fund the completion of both projects, totaling 550 MW of solar and 300 MW of four-hour battery storage, with commercial operations expected in 2024.
