Solar Frontier Americas Development — the utility-scale project development division of Solar Frontier Americas — will manage both installations. Blattner Energy will provide EPC services, Power Electronics will offer inverters and NEXTracker will supply its NX Horizon single-axis trackers.
Charles Pimentel, CEO of Solar Frontier Americas Development, said, “Solar Frontier has developed an extensive US project development pipeline of over 400MW and has rapidly established itself as a reliable and bankable player in the solar development industry. We are pleased to now start construction of Midway I and Midway II, two solar power plants that will deliver economical, clean and renewable energy.”
Ryan Kelley, Imperial County Supervisor, District 4, added, “Solar Frontier’s solar projects will generate hundreds of direct jobs and employ local workers in Imperial County, California. The projects will drive significant dollars in local sales and property taxes and contribute to the local economy.”
