Project Portfolio
Primergy Solar has a diverse project portfolio that includes over 3,000 megawatt hours of energy storage projects under long-term revenue contracts. Notable projects include the Iron Point Solar & Battery Storage project in Humboldt County, NV, which will power 127,000 homes; the Hesperus Solar project in La Plata County, CO, generating 155 MWac solar power; the Hot Pot Solar & Battery Storage project, also in Humboldt County, NV, serving 127,000 homes; and several others including the Ash Creek Solar project in TX, Prairie Mist Solar project in AR, Gemini Solar project in NV, and the Primergy Illinois Portfolio with 14MWdc of distributed solar power assets.
Development and Partnerships
Primergy Solar participates in self-development as well as co-development and partnering ventures. The company is a portfolio company of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, which supports its extensive development capabilities. These partnerships allow Primergy to contribute significantly to the solar and energy storage sectors across various states, including Nevada, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, and Illinois.
Economic Impact
Primergy Solar's projects have substantial economic impacts on local communities. The Hesperus Solar project in Colorado is expected to bring approximately 150 full-time equivalent construction jobs, with peaks reaching up to 250 jobs. The Ash Creek Solar project will cover approximately 3,480 acres of rural lands and contribute an estimated $80 million in additional tax payments over 30 years. Similarly, the Prairie Mist Solar project will encompass around 700 acres, contributing an estimated $10 million in property tax payments over 30 years.
Sustainability Initiatives
Primergy Solar focuses on sustainability through innovative methods and significant contributions to renewable energy production. For instance, the Pitkin Solar project in Colorado employs a 'No Grade, Low Touch' construction method to minimize environmental impacts. Additionally, the Purple Sage Energy Center is expected to generate over 1.2 million MWh of carbon-free solar energy annually, sufficient to power more than 100,000 homes per year. Similarly, the Ash Creek Solar project in Texas is anticipated to produce enough carbon-free energy to power approximately 90,000 homes annually.
