Solar Frontier Americas has announced that it has sold its 40 megawatts (DC) (30 megawatts AC), Midway II solar power plant to a subsidiary of Dominion Energy Inc. Dominion serves more than 6 million utility and retail energy customers throughout the U.S.

The Midway II solar power plant, located in the Imperial County of California, is constructed with approximately 242,000 Solar Frontier advanced CIS solar modules mounted on NEXTracker’s high performance single-axis solar trackers. The project has a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Imperial Irrigation District for the electricity produced by the plant.

Midway II solar power project (sited on 320-acres northwest of Calipatria, California) is part of Solar Frontier Americas’ 106 megawatts (DC) Midway projects portfolio. In total, Solar Frontier Americas’ project pipeline has over 400 megawatts of solar projects in various stages of development.

Charles Pimentel, COO of Solar Frontier Americas said, “We’re pleased Dominion is expanding its assets with a solar project developed by Solar Frontier Americas. As a highly successful Fortune 500 company, we applaud the growth of their renewable energy portfolio, their commitment to sustainable energy generation and the reduction of environmental carbon emissions.”

Midway II is expected to generate enough electricity to meet the needs of over 6,500 homes annually. The construction of the Midway projects boosted local employment with over 670 jobs and benefited the county with increased tax revenues that can be invested into programs for local residents said the company in a statement.

“This acquisition highlights Dominion’s ongoing commitment to owning and operating renewable energy generation. We are pleased to work with Solar Frontier to provide more clean energy to the grid,” said Jim Eck, Vice President-Business Development & Merchant Operations for Dominion’s generation operating segment.
