Work on the three sites in Valparaiso, Navarre and Pensacola is already underway — with construction expected to be completed in the summer of 2017.

SunLink VP Jonathan Eastwood said: “It takes proven, sophisticated engineering excellence and product solutions to support the largest solar projects in the world. Our partners turn to us because we deliver on both counts, and they attest that we shine when it comes to utility-scale solar system optimization and customer service.

“Swinerton selected SunLink based on our demonstrated ability to accommodate the many demands associated with complex projects, coupled with our ability to help our partners overcome obstacles and deliver a superior customer experience. Our companies share a commitment to delivering successful, enduring solar projects, and together we’re able to operate more competitively in the market.”

George Hershman, senior VP and general manager of Swinerton Renewable Energy, added: “SunLink has been a valuable partner in developing a solution to fit the specific requirements of the Eglin, Saufley and Holley solar projects. We look forward to continued collaboration in the coming months as we work to bring affordable clean energy to Northwest Florida.”
