Commercial and community solar developer Standard Solar has acquired a 25-megawatt (MW) solar project being developed in California from Balanced Rock Power, according to a Nov. 13 news release.

Located in Kern County, the Windhub Solar B solar project will have 112 acres dedicated to the solar array. The project aims to address energy delivery challenges in the Mojave area, Standard Solar said. It is expected to generate nearly 56,680 megawatt hours of renewable energy annually. Construction is set to begin in first-half 2025.

The acquisition “aligns with our strategy of acquiring high-quality projects developed by utility-scale developers in the 20- to 75-MW range,” Mike Streams, chief development officer for Standard Solar said in the release. “Our expertise and appetite for these types of acquisitions enable us to strategically expand our clean energy portfolio and provide dependable, sustainable power to the grid.”
