“enXco is thrilled to bring Kristina's 20 years of experience in energy and banking to our team. Her track record as a senior executive in solar panel manufacturing and infrastructure financing, coupled with her involvement in transactions worth over $4 billion globally, will accelerate our development of utility-scale and distributed generation solar projects,” said Paul Kaufman, executive VP for transactions. “Kristina's leadership, and the technical expertise contributed by Damien and David, reinforces our continued commitment to solar power generation.  These individuals will collaborate with our already exceptionally strong solar development and technical team to develop, design and engineer the most cost effective and successful solar PV projects.”

Since 2008, when the company diversified into solar power projects, it has put into operation 70MWp across the US and Canada, with 22MWp in construction and over 750MWp in varying phases of development. San Diego-based enXco recently signed a PPA with SDG&E for the 130MWp Catalina PV project in Kern County, CA.
