RPlus Energies has carried out a groundbreaking ceremony for the Green River Energy Center, which comprises a 400MW solar site and a 400MW battery storage project in Eastern Utah.
One of the largest solar-plus-storage schemes under construction in the nation, Green River Energy Center will supply power to PacifiCorp under a PPA.
Securing over US$1bn in construction debt financing earlier this year, the project is expected to create approximately 500 jobs – many filled by local workers.
Sundt Construction is the EPC contractor for the site, with EliTe Solar supplying the solar modules and Tesla providing the battery storage system.
RPlus Energies president and chief executive Luigi Resta said: “It’s the partners that make this project special, that have made this monumental project possible.
“From our equipment providers to the onsite talent, and the support of the local and regional community, we owe this project’s success to each of you.”
