The Montour Solar One project is a joint venture between Pattern Energy and Talen Energy that will provide cost-effective renewable energy to the region. Our approach to building successful facilities is to work closely with residents in a way that is respectful and fits the needs of the landowners and communities that host us. We seek to build partnerships and bring long-term benefits to where we operate. We prioritize relationship building and open communication and aim to address and incorporate feedback, and further local benefits.
