Background:
Two New York–based companies are driving a major boost in America’s clean-energy expansion, announcing a $200 million tax equity investment to advance two large solar developments in south Alabama. Advantage Capital and Origis Energy announced that the funding is now complete, taking an important step toward improving energy infrastructure in rural areas across the U.S.
The investment will support the Walker Springs I and II solar projects in Clarke County, which together will add 209 MWdc of renewable capacity to Alabama’s power supply. Walker Springs I is scheduled to begin operations later this month, with Walker Springs II expected to follow in early 2026.
According to the companies, the projects are designed to generate clean power for thousands of homes while creating high-quality local jobs and increasing county tax revenues. Both developments will rely on domestically sourced equipment, contributing to U.S. manufacturing growth and reinforcing the national clean-energy supply chain.
In addition to the Alabama projects, Advantage Capital has also provided $65 million in funding for the Whistling Duck solar project in Levy County, Florida. The 96 MWdc facility is owned and operated by Origis Energy and further strengthens the partnership between the two firms.
Adam Constantinides, senior vice president at Advantage Capital, said the company remains committed to broadening access to dependable renewable energy. He said the partnership with Origis is helping advance clean-energy projects that strengthen local infrastructure and support the shift toward a more sustainable future.
The three solar projects also show the growing interest in large renewable-energy investments across the U.S., especially in regions that can benefit from new clean-energy development.
