Exus Buys Rights to Develop Louisiana, Wisconsin Solar Plants
The deal nearly doubles Exus’ portfolio as the company seeks buyers for power from projects that can connect quickly.
- On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Exus Renewables North America acquired four solar projects totaling 715 megawatts from ibV Energy Partners, spanning Wisconsin and Louisiana and nearly doubling the company's portfolio.
- Rising electricity demand from data centers and rapid electrification makes these sites valuable, Exus CEO Jim Spencer said, as projects offer quick interconnection in regions where power generation lags behind consumption.
- The acquisition includes the 310-megawatt Maple Grove Solar 1 and 2 in Barron County, Wisconsin, plus the 125-megawatt Bayou Teche Solar and 280-megawatt Bayou Chicot Solar projects in Louisiana.
- Spencer expects to finalize offtake agreements within four to six weeks while negotiating potential power sales with Big Tech hyperscalers and utilities serving data-center loads.
- Solar developer ibV Energy Partners secured grid connections roughly a half-decade ago, said CEO Chris McKissack, with combined systems eventually able to supply electricity to approximately 390,000 average homes.
