Sunfinity Renewable Energy has announced a name change (the company was formerly Sunfinity Solar) to accompany significant growth initiatives for the company, including the launch of a utility-scale solar division with current plans in the works for three major solar projects. Sunfinity began business in 2016.
“The new name, Sunfinity Renewable Energy, reflects a more aggressive and comprehensive vision for the solar company as one of America’s leading developers of clean, renewable energy,” said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO.
The utility-scale solar division kicks off with several projects in early-stage development, including the Flatland Solar Farm in Scurry County, Texas. The project is located on a 950-acre secured site and has capacity ranging from 140 to 180 MW, with expansion possible during later phases.
“If our Flatland solar project was online today, it would be among the five largest operating solar farms in Texas,” said Billingsley. “On the conservative end, Flatland will produce enough power for over 31,000 homes, depending on customer demand during the hotter months.”
The Flatland Solar Farm is expected to break ground in 2019 and require approximately 12 to 14 months to complete. Almost 690,000 solar panels will be installed as part of the construction process. A second West Texas project is in negotiations with a solar capacity of 120 MW. A third utility-scale solar project, located in Colorado, is currently under negotiations and will be announced at a future date.
“The U.S. economy is in a state of rapid transition. Much of this change is being driven by growing availability and market demand for cleaner and lower-cost renewable energy,” Billingsley said. “Our utility-scale solar division is well positioned to capitalize on this increasing demand.”
