Standard Solar acquires solar project in Texas
In Maryland, Standard Solar announced the acquisition of a 9.9-megawatt (MWac) behind-the-meter solar project to power part of an industrial process load for Messer Americas in Texas. The firm noted it acquired the Bluebonnet project from EDF Renewables North America. EDF Renewables’ Distribution-Scale Power team developed the project and will continue to perform the role of EPC contractor throughout the construction phase. Standard Solar will be the long-term owner and operator. The Bluebonnet project is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2024. “This project represents a significant milestone for Standard Solar as we expand our footprint into the Texas renewable energy market,” said Eric Partyka, Director of Business Development, Standard Solar. “This marks the fourth collaboration between Standard Solar and EDF Renewables in the past 2-3 years, including projects such as Lawsbrook, Knox and Lehigh University.”
