Borrego will certainly construct its initial solar projects in Montana and South Dakota for Greenbacker

• Solar installer Borrego has actually been chosen by Greenbacker Renewable Energy to engineer and also construct two utility-scale solar projects in Montana and South Dakota.

The projects are the largest to day for Greenbacker as well as Borrego's design, procurement and construction (EPC) group and also are the very first for Borrego in the two states.

" These projects stand for the latest and greatest enhancements to Borrego's promptly expanding utility-scale solar resume," stated Brian Barker, that was lately advertised to executive vice head of state of Borrego's EPC unit. "Our success comes from having the self-confidence of partners like Greenbacker to help them make better decisions through project risk mitigation, component purchase and project optimization, ultimately increasing project financial returns."

The 80-MWAC Montana Sun (MTSun) Solar project is located on a 489-acre site in Yellowstone County, Montana. The 80-MWAC Fall River Solar project is sited on a 500-acre parcel in Fall River County, South Dakota. Both projects will certainly start building and construction in Q4 2021 as well as are set up to be functional in December 2022. When finished, the two solar plants will be among the largest in their corresponding states.

Both projects have long-lasting power purchase contracts in place with local investment-grade utilities: Montana Sun with Northwestern Power as well as Fall River with Black Hills Power. Greenbacker got both projects from Broad Reach Power (BRP) as part of its technique to own and also run large-scale energy solar plants.

" We have actually worked with Borrego on a variety of distributed generation solar projects and also consider them a valued EPC partner," said Charles Wheeler, CEO of Greenbacker. "These utility-scale projects note the latest action in each business' gigawatt passions, as well as we expect bringing clean power, and the work that include it, to the arising Montana and South Dakota solar markets."
