Pluma construction, ForeFront Power, Standard solar energy And Solstice gathered with project partners, invited guests and community stakeholders at the Pino Community Solar Site in Las Vegas, New Mexico, to celebrate community solar in the state and progress across the eight-project, 48.4 MW portfolio.
Solar project for the Pino community
Developed by New Mexico-based Pluma Construction with support from ForeFront Power, the portfolio was acquired by Standard Solar for long-term ownership and operation, with Solstice being the largest subscriber acquisition. The portfolio also reflects Standard Solar’s broader involvement in New Mexico, where the company is actively acquiring additional projects.
The event was held at one of the portfolio’s operating locations and featured remarks from project partners and a ribbon cutting to recognize the collaboration behind one of the first community solar portfolios in New Mexico.
Seven of the eight solar tracker projects have been completed and the final project, Otero, is expected by the end of 2026. Once fully completed, the 48.4 MW portfolio is expected to generate approximately 103,287 MWh in its first year. For both the State Land Trust and privately located facilities, the portfolio will help expand access to clean energy and savings on electric bills for households throughout New Mexico.
The portfolio includes the following projects:
- Pino – Las Vegas, New Mexico, 7.5 MW, 14,710.38 MWh first-year production
- Curry Road North — Clovis, New Mexico, 4.5 MW, 9,133.90 MWh first-year production
