Global energy development company EE North America has invested heavily in the U.S. market to drive the energy transition to renewables and address hard to decarbonize sectors. The company continues its mission to accelerate the clean energy transition in the United States by acquiring a majority stake in two solar projects, Sandy Hill Solar and Sand Dune Solar, in Colorado.

Additional 700 MW for EE North America

The joint venture with Horus Partners adds 700 MW to EE North America’s solar capacity under development, bringing its total to 2.5 GW across Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, marking a significant step toward the ambitious goal of developing 10 GW of renewable energy in the United States by 2026.

The Sandy Hill Solar and Sand Dune Solar projects are expected to begin construction in 2024, marking an important step toward achieving EE North America’s mission of becoming a leading global force in promoting the green transition.
