Adding to the company’s ever-expanding portfolio of large-scale installations, SunEdison has won the contract to provide a 14.5MW ground-mounted solar power installation at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (DMAFB) in Tucson, Arizona. The agreement will see SunEdison look after the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the ~130 acre site, which, upon completion, will provide as much as 35% of DMAFB’s energy needs.

SunEdison has also entered into a long-term ground lease agreement with DMAFB for the use of their land, and in return, will provide the DMAFB with electricity supply at a fixed rate.
