Alex Sarly, senior project developer at Borrego Solar, revealed that the company has secured all necessary finances from a group of US banks to fund the projects.

Borrego Solar is keen to benefit from the island’s extended net metering policy which provides power generators with credits for any unused power. Previously, projects no larger than 1MW could benefit from the policy. Under the new regulation, projects up to 5MW are now able to apply for such credits.
