“We continue to pursue projects that will grow our renewable energy business. This acquisition is another example of PSEG’s commitment to being a leading clean energy provider.”

PSEG said that these are the fifth and sixth solar projects undertaken by the company with BayWa, with the latest purchase will bring its portfolio to 25 utility-scale solar facilities located in 14 states, including eight in North Carolina.

These facilities have a total capacity of 414MW, whilst the two new projects will add 53MW.

BayWa, which will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction, will also provide operational and maintenance services to the projects once they go into service.

The company plans to install more than 75,000 monocrystalline solar panels at the Five Forks Facility, while the North Halifax facility will see the installation of approximately 78,000 solar panels.

BayWa CEO Jam Attari said: “As a global renewable energy company, we’re committed to delivering best-in-class projects that leave a positive footprint in the community, and provide a sustainable return on investment to key stakeholders and partners.”
