As part of its plan to develop this new 150MW solar farm, the company is also in negotiations to purchase an additional 707 acres adjacent to the 100 acre parcel. This follows its plan for the 20MW Sunshine Solar Farm project currently in development with Siliken Renewable Energy on 154.3 acres it owns near Flagstaff Arizona.
Joel Franklin, CEO of Pacific Blue Energy, said: “Part of our business plan is to continue to identify and purchase land that can be developed for solar farms.
“Much like our first purchase near Flagstaff, the property in Gila Bend offers key features that will make it perfect for solar electrical power generation, and we anticipate being able to complete this transaction in short order.”
