The partners plan to commence construction of the first 100 MW pipeline project in the third quarter this year.

The companies have secured related land and grid connection, and negotiations are underway for the sale of the first solar plants.
Solar Frontier and NEW have earlier worked together on a 7.15 MW solar park in Banwell, UK.

Solar Frontier Europe managing director Wolfgang Lange said: "The Banwell project, which commenced operations in 2015, serves as a frontrunner for future projects – it demonstrates the performance advantages of CIS especially in UK weather conditions, the benefit of optimizing system components to leverage the advantages of CIS, and the importance of an experienced development team."

NEW shareholder and general manager Jochen Kleimaier said: "We look forward to working with Solar Frontier again as we strive to meet the demand for high quality, high-performance, low-risk solar energy in the UK to meet the demand of institutional investors."

Solar Frontier provides CIS thin-film solar energy solutions and NEW is an EPC focusing in renewable energy projects development.
