WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 17, 2023 – Today, Washington, D.C.-based Sol Systems, LLC announced the acquisition of a 190-megawatt (MW) solar development project in Uvalde County, TX from Madrid-based ABEI Energy. Sol Systems acquired the project as part of its expanding Infrastructure + Impact business. ABEI Energy will continue to support Sol Systems during pre-construction development.
“This acquisition builds on Sol Systems’ growing footprint in Texas and is part of a strategic effort to grow our national infrastructure platform,” said Mak Nagle, Chief Development Officer at Sol Systems. “We are excited to expand access to clean energy and to create new opportunities through the lifetime of the project.”
Sol Systems will construct, own, and operate the project, which will generate enough clean electricity to power over 100,000 homes annually. The project will bring millions of dollars in clean energy investment to the local community, create job opportunities, and drive economic growth in the county and the surrounding area.
