The ground breaking for the solar farm, which is located in Bladen County, is scheduled for early 2015.
ISS company spokesman John Green said the company is excited about this project due to its size and the amount of energy being added to the grid in 2015.
The project is expected to generate enough power for 10,000 US households and will cover a farm area of approximately 300 acres.
ISS is accepting bids for the requirement of 200,000 solar PV panels, which will be installed at the farm.
