Paris Solar Farm – Puryear

Silicon Ranch’s carbon solutions platform, Clearloop, and Rivian, an American builder of all-electric vehicles, partnered to support 1MW of the electricity generated at the project. This electricity is enough to power every one of Rivian’s new electric vehicle charging stations in Tennessee with 100% new, clean, renewable energy, including the charging station in Paris. It is located at the city’s iconic Eiffel Tower Park. Paris  BPU, Clearloop, Rivian, and Silicon Ranch partnered to hold a public “First Charge” event in Eiffel Tower Park to celebrate the commencement of Paris Solar Farm operations and to unveil the flagship Rivian Waypoints electric vehicle charging station. The event drew crowds from throughout the community, including hundreds of students from the local high school.  The experience inspired an ongoing collaboration between the solar project and the school and led to a “Clean Tech Careers Panel Event”.
