This edition of Projects weekly Emphasizes a strata clean energy break group on a 600 MWh energy storage project near Phoenix. In addition, Solarbank is developing a 4,584 solar project in New York, Ameresco, a partnership of Matchbook Learning to offer Solar for a high school and career center in Indiana, and Standard Solar has added 39 MW Zonne Zonne -Zon -Zon -Zon in Illinois. All this and more wait in the paragraphs that are presented.
Layers of clean energy Celebrated the groundbreaking of the Justice Energy Storage Facility in Maricopa County, Arizona. The event brought together managers from Strata, Arizona Public Service (APS) and other local stakeholders. The 150 MW / 600 MWh project near Phoenix is expected to be operational in April 2026, which delivers four hours of battery capacity that can feed around 24,000 houses.
“This project underlines our long -term obligation to make a resilient, low -carbon -poor future with energy,” said Tiago Sabino Dias, Chief Commercial Officer at Strata Clean Energy. “Justice will help Arizona get closer to his goals of clean energy sources and at the same time support the economic vitality of the region.”
Cool factor: Once completed, Justice will play a crucial role in strengthening the reliability of Arizona. It will help with storing surplus renewable energy that is generated during the day and to send it during the peak evening question – especially of vital importance during the extreme heat waves of Arizona. Justice was awarded via APS’s All-Source RFP in June 2023 and is part of a 20-year toll agreement between Strata and APS. Strata will develop, possess and exploit the project as part of its portfolio of renewable and energy storage activa.
Solarbank develops 4,584 MW Forest Hill RD Project in New York
Solarbank Corp. Plans to develop a 4,584 MWDC Ground-Mount Community Solar Power Project that is known as the Forest Hill RD project on a site in Upstate New York. With a secure location – Lease and Interconnecto Study underway, the project is another important addition to the growing development fruits of Solarbank, which is higher than 1 GW.
Solarbank CEO Dr. Richard Lu commented on the recent increase in the rates in Southeastern-Asia sun cells and the company’s plans to manage his supply chain.
“Solarbank has not imported solar panels from one of the four countries subject to the rates announced on April 21, 2025 by the US Department of Trade,” said Lu. “As a result, the current activities are not influenced by this announcement. Moreover, Solarbank has investigated Sourcing Solar Panels from other areas of law, such as the Midden -Oosten and Noord -America, where (domestic assembled) solar panels cost becomes competitive with the panels that are imported from Asia. Tariffs that will further reduce the financial impact on projects.
Cool factor: The project is eligible for the Vder-rate compensation mechanism under NY Public Utility Commission Case 15-E-0751. The average compensation of the year is currently projected at $ 0.0971/kWh. The Verd (value of distributed energy sources) for solar projects in New York is the rate that can be paid to the owner of the project in exchange for the energy supplied to the grid.
Ameresco cuts ribbon on Matchbook Learning Center in Indiana
Ameresco Inc. and Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana Inc. organized a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Match High School and Career Center in Indianapolis. The ceremony celebrated an important milestone in the project of more than $ 20 million to offer solar -and other energy efficiency improvements to the facility.
To ensure that the school could welcome the first class of more than 50 students for the academic year of 2024, Ameresco has accelerated the construction of the career center and completed that building in the summer of 2024. The construction of the main school was completed in March 2025, so that students switch to the new space for the rest of the year.
Cool factor: The School’s New 165 KW photovoltaic (PV) Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (Bess), which will be provide Reliable, Renewable Backup Energy to Power The School’s Operations, is slated to be installed later in 2025. Among The Energy Last YARRAUDYS AlDrawings Controls, Building Envelope Improvements, Insulated Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) Roofs, Interior and Exterior LED Light upgrades, Heat Pomp Pump Heaters and HVAC -UPGRADES. These upgrades ensure that the buildings are resource-efficient, which leads to long-term cost savings.
The Match High School and Career Center is designed to support an extensive, technologically improved curriculum that is tailored to MatchBook’s mission to offer every student a clear path to success. The career center offers professional and internship programs in construction trade, welding, engineering and entrepreneurship. By integrating hands-on learning opportunities with advanced energy systems and infrastructure, the school wants to equip students with the tools and experience they need for sustainable career.
Standard Solar acquires 39 MW Community Solar Portfolio in Illinois
Standard solar energy has taken over a 39 MW Community Solar Port Folio in Illinois from New Leaf Energy, an experienced developer of Clean Energy projects.
This newest addition extends the footprint of Standard Solar in the State considerably, as a result of which the total number of ownership, operational, incoming and contracted projects in Illinois is brought to more than 30, a total of 150 MW.
Cool factor: The newly acquired portfolio consists of five community projects in cities in Illinois: Blackstone, Braceville, Dwight, Seneca and Wadsworth. The projects use a mix of tracker and ground confirmation of one axis, and are jointly expected to produce more than 46,700 MWh of clean energy in their first year of operation.
With the five community projects of the community, residents and companies can subscribe to clean, renewable energy and credits to their electricity accounts, making solar energy accessible to those who cannot install solar panels on their property.
Ipsun Solar Partners with EYA to bring Solar to DC Townhomes on the roof
Ipsun Solar has collaborated with EyaWashington, the leading developer of urban and transit -oriented properties of DC. Through the partnership, Ipsun House buyers will offer the option for installations on the roof solar panel for Eya’s New Townhomes at Reservoir districtA sustainability -oriented, fully electric community that is currently developing in Washington, DC
Cool factor: Through this partnership, home buyers can choose to seamlessly add a complete solar system during the design phase of their city house purchase. Ipsun Solar will install very efficient 425 W panels between 8 and 14, depending on the home model, together with a solar converter for reliable, clean electricity from the first day. Inwoners die Solar in Reservoir District installeren, kunnen profiteren van een federaal belastingkrediet van 30% en inkomsten genereren via zonne-certificaten voor hernieuwbare energie (SREC’s)-in de loop van het gewaardeerd op $ 415 elk in Washington, DC De zonnesystemen worden ondersteund door de 10-jarige vakmanschapsgarantie van Ipsun Solar, samen met Q-cellen van Q-cellen van Q-cellen.
Recurring energy energy of 127 MW solar project in Louisiana
Recurring energy Organized a ribbon cutting ceremony in Bayou Galion Solar, a 127 MWDC sun project in the northeast of Louisiana. The project started in November 2024.
To celebrate the commercial operation of the project, recurrent energy welcomed local leaders in the site in Morehouse Parish for a tour of tours and ribbon cutting ceremony. Bayou Galion Solar generates sufficient electricity to provide the equivalent of approximately 20,500 houses per year, and offers a substantial source of new tax revenues for the local community. In connection with the event, Recurrent Energy also makes a donation to the Cotton Country Players, a local theater group, in support of the nearby historic Rose Theater.
