Babcock & Wilcox’s B&W Renewable segment has been awarded contracts for two utility-scale solar panel installation projects totalling 144MW located in the Midwest, United States.
The value of both contracts is more than US$12m (€11.7m).
The photovoltaic solar farms will produce zero-carbon, zero-emissions power for more than 20,000 homes and businesses, B&W said.
B&W executive vice president and chief operating officer Jimmy Morgan said: “The US clean energy revolution is under way, and we’re excited to be part of these utility-scale solar projects.
“B&W’s solar services are part of our broad suite of renewable energy, decarbonization and environmental solutions.”
“Our solar installation and service capabilities allow us to effectively serve a broad range of customers, including utility-scale installations such as these.
“As demand for clean energy solutions continues to grow, we’re optimistic about the ongoing growth of the North American solar energy market.”
Project planning is in progress and completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022.
