PCL Construction announced on Monday that it has secured more than USD 1 billion (EUR 944m) in new solar projects, surpassing 4 GW of contracted work so far this year.

The construction group shared a list of eight newly-obtained projects in the US, Canada and Australia with a combined capacity of close to 1.5 GW. More details are available in the table below.

Name	Capacity	Location
Peacock	150 MW	San Patricio County, Texas
Azalea Springs	180 MW	Angelina County, Texas
Clearview	145 MW	Champaign County, Ohio
Goose Prairie	80 MW	Yakima County, Washington
Spring Coulee	30 MW	Cardston County, Alberta
Homestead	400 MW	Claresholm, Alberta
Stubbo Solar	400 MW	New South Wales, Australia
Gunsynd	94 MW	Queensland, Australia

PCL Solar has thus achieved a new company record. To date, it has completed almost 60 solar projects across North America and Australia, including the 456-MW Travers Solar power plant in the Canadian province of Alberta.

Now, PCL Solar plans to also engage in Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects to cater to the growing demand in the sector driven by the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Canada's Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit.

"We plan to expand our team by 25% this year to support our projects and increase our capacity for future years," commented Rodolfo Bitar, manager of strategic initiatives for PCL Solar.
