Jesse Grossman, co-founder and CEO of Soltage, said: “This funding is both a transformative achievement for Soltage and further evidence solar power is a smart investment for forward-looking utilities and customers, alike.”

David Kirkwood, vice president and treasurer of Tenaska, added: “The past 18 months have shown the strength of Soltage's business plan. This investment and potential follow-on investments will allow Soltage to increase its development velocity in the near term.”

Soltage installed more than 60MW of PV capacity in 2014, adding to an overall development portfolio of around 80MW since Tenaska’s first investment in 2008. Tenaska currently manages about 11,000MW of power-generating assets, including 280MW of utility-scale PV projects functioning or under construction.
