The company acquired the 50MW Silver State North project developed in Nevada by First Solar for an undisclosed sum. First Solar, the world's largest module manufacturer, says it expects to recognize revenue from the deal in the second quarter.
Enbridge's entry into the US solar market is a momentous one. While hundreds of megawatts of solar are under construction on federal land around the country and thousands more are in permitting, Silver State North is poised to be "the first in the nation on federal land -- solely on federal land -- selling power to the grid from PV", says Gregory Helseth, renewable energy project manager for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in southern Nevada.
