Northwest President, Dr. Gary Lee Spears welcomed the dignitaries to the campus and opened the program. On the program for the announcement were Dennis Cuneo, strategic business adviser; representatives from Twin Creeks Technologies; Congressman Travis Childers; Senatobia Mayor Alan Callicott; Janie Mortimer, executive director, Tate County Economic Development Foundation; and Dr. Daniel Jones, University of Mississippi chancellor. Also on the stage were Gray Swoope, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority; and Haley Fisackerly, president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi, Inc.

According to Sivaram, the company will begin construction this summer after permits are secured, and the plant is expected to be complete in 2015. Twin Creeks, which was founded in 2008, has its own proprietary solar panel manufacturing technology, which will be used to make the panels in Mississippi. The process, according to a company statement, lowers the cost of production of solar panels.

Sivaram also announced the establishment of two scholarships by his company— one to benefit students at Northwest; and one for engineering students at the University of Mississippi.
