Bright Green's Solar Power Move in New Mexico
- Bright Green Corporation's innovative solar project in New Mexico aims to power its facility sustainably, with plans for electric boilers and a power purchase agreement in the works.
US cannabis company Bright Green Corporation announced plans to build a 102-MW solar field in New Mexico to power its research, production, and extraction processing facility. The project aims to replace natural gas and heavy oil with clean electricity, aligning with the company's sustainability goals. The solar project is expected to be completed in about 30 months, with the company currently in the bid process and working with local solar installers.
In addition to the solar field, Bright Green plans to install three 40-MW electric boilers provided by Precision Boilers LLC. These boilers will be powered by the solar field and will heat hot water for the facility's heating needs during low sun periods. The company is also seeking a power purchase agreement from local utilities to procure excess power during peak times.
