Dr. Karl Markert, CEO of BELECTRIC USA said: “Securing these project rights represents an important step for BELECTRIC USA in establishing itself in the highly competitive US market. We are proud to be a part of the future of energy supply in the USA. Once the projects are completed, BELECTRIC USA will have built over 130 MW of PV power plants in the US alone. The decisive factors in winning the contracts were the professionalism, commitment, and motivation of our employees – they are the reason we were awarded these projects.”

The company did not disclose the project partners involved or financial terms.
