Blue Ridge Power, a solar construction company, announced Friday that it has completed the Oxendine Solar project in Yadkinville, N.C.
BRP, headquartered in Asheville, acquired Fayetteville-based Horne Brothers Construction in June. The company employs 400 workers in the Fayetteville area and almost 200 more employees across the country.
The Oxendine Solar project was named after Larry Oxendine, a Lumberton native who was a project manager for Horne Brothers and then Blue Ridge Power.
The recently completed project was built in partnership with developer Pine Gate Renewables. “The project will provide solar energy to Duke Energy Carolinas through a 20-year power purchase agreement,” the press release said.
Overall, 120 construction jobs were provided by the project and it is expected to contribute $1.82 million to the local economy in tax revenue.
“Oxendine Solar will provide low-cost clean power to North Carolinians for years to come.” said Chris Dunbar, CEO of Blue Ridge Power. “We’re proud to be able to provide good jobs and clean infrastructure right here in our own back yard.”
