Longroad Energy Holdings, the US renewables group established recently by a clutch of First Wind veterans, has announced the acquisition of a 3GW pipeline of solar projects from Texas-based 7X Energy.
The deal catapults Longroad into the thick of the US solar market, having only last week confirmed it bought enough wind turbines from Vestas at the end of 2016 to build 600MW of new US wind capacity that will be eligible for the full $23/MWh production tax credit.
