If a bankruptcy court overseeing reorganisation of SunEdison approves the sale, NRG Energy could add to its already large holdings of utility-scale solar projects in the US and potentially challenge industry leader NextEra Energy Resources.

The projects include Jupiter (329MW) in California; Buckthorn (200MW) in Texas; Enterprise, and Escalante 1-3 (108MW each) in Utah; Granite Mountain East and Iron Springs (each 104MW); Iron Mountain West (65.5MW)
