Business Wire
Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B&W) (NYSE: BW)
announced today that its subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Solar
Energy, Inc. (B&W Solar), has been awarded contracts by Cypress
Creek Renewables, LLC to implement three utility-scale photovoltaic
solar power installations totaling 75 megawatts in western
Pennsylvania.
When complete, each solar installation will be capable of
generating approximately 25 megawatts of clean, zero-carbon energy
– enough to power around 10,000 homes – while creating nearly 90
construction jobs for the duration of the projects. Site work for
the first project began in November 2023, and work for the second
and third projects is scheduled to begin in March 2024. All three
facilities are anticipated to be operational in 2024.
“Solar energy is a key part of the energy future in the U.S. and
around the world, and we’re pleased to work with Cypress Creek
Renewables to bring clean, net-zero carbon power to the residents
of western Pennsylvania,” said Jimmy Morgan, Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer, B&W. “B&W has many
decades of construction and large project management expertise, and
we are well-positioned to help our customers deploy solar
installations across the country.”
“Cypress Creek is excited to be part of the clean energy
transition in Pennsylvania,” Rebecca Cranna, Chief Operating
Officer of Cypress Creek said. “We look forward to working with
B&W to get these projects over the finish line as we work
toward a more sustainable future with facilities that provide
long-term benefits in the communities that host us, the state of
Pennsylvania, and beyond.”
"Our pre-construction and engineering teams collaborated with
Cypress Creek Renewables early in the process to develop an
effective and efficient energy solution to complete the development
of these three 25-megawatt installations," said Tony Dorazio,
President, B&W Solar. "Over the past several months, we have
strengthened our operations platform and are capable of delivering
larger utility-scale projects. We also partnered with some of the
leading equipment suppliers and subcontractors to augment our solar
operational expertise and we look forward to working together to
maintain overall project schedules and maximize operational
performance. We’re excited about working with Cypress Creek
Renewables on these outstanding projects."
With more than 100 operational installations of clean solar
power production, the B&W Solar team is highly experienced in
commercial, industrial and community solar project execution, and
is committed to safety, outstanding service, quality delivery and
construction.
