Developed by New Mexico-based Pluma Construction with support from ForeFront Power, the portfolio was acquired by Standard Solar for long-term ownership and operations, with Solstice leading subscriber acquisition. The portfolio also reflects Standard Solar’s broader commitment to New Mexico, where the company is actively acquiring additional projects.
Held at one of the portfolio’s operating sites, the event featured remarks from project partners and a ribbon cutting recognizing the collaboration behind one of New Mexico’s earliest community solar portfolios.
