The announcement comes shortly after Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) published a draft plan to expand solar in the state to 11GW in order to supply 10% of the state's electric retail sales by 2030.

“The acquisition of the largest solar development portfolio in Pennsylvania builds on our proven reputation as a global renewable energy leader,” said Nick Boyle, CEO, Lightsource BP Group. “We are accelerating the development of solar with a strong focus on new and underserved markets, as it is an important component of a diverse fuel mix.”

Lightsource BP's first-announced US plans earlier this year were to build the largest solar farm in Kansas for the Mid-Kansas Electric Company.
