PCL Construction Secures $1B+ in New Solar Projects Across North America and Australia

PCL Construction has secured more than $1 billion in new solar projects to increase its sustainable energy footprint across the U.S., Canada, and Australia for 2023.

"This year, we officially surpassed 4 GW contracted – marking a new record for the company," said Andrew Moles, General Manager of PCL's Solar Division. "This growth reflects the increased demand for renewable energy projects across the world."

PCL Solar aims to more than double its impact of powering homes and businesses across the three countries in the coming years with the following projects:

• Peacock: 150 MW photovoltaic power station located in Taft, San Patricio County, Texas.
• Azalea Springs: 180 MW photovoltaic solar energy installation in Angelina County, Texas.
• Clearview: 145 MW solar project in Adams Township in Champaign County, Ohio.
• Goose Prairie: 80 MW solar photovoltaic project located in Yakima County, Washington.
• Spring Coulee: 30 MW solar facility located in Cardston County, Alberta.
• Homestead: 400 MW photovoltaic solar energy installation in Claresholm, Alberta.
• Stubbo Solar: 400 MW solar energy facility located in Gulgong, New South Wales, Australia.
• Gunsynd: 94 MW solar farm located in Southwest Queensland, Australia.

"We plan to expand our team by 25% this year to support our projects and increase our capacity for future years," said Rodolfo Bitar, Manager of Strategic Initiatives for PCL Solar.

PCL Solar also anticipates seeking growing battery energy storage system opportunities for critical infrastructure support by storing energy to be deployed at peak times when the grid is experiencing high demand.

Currently, the company has completed about 60 solar projects, supplying enough clean energy to power more than half a million average homes and businesses across North America and Australia. PCL Solar's Travers Solar project in Canada surpassed 1 million MW hours of production and has the capacity to offset more than 472,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
