“At Nextracker we’re laser-focused on delivering customer value with the most reliable and highest performing systems,” said Dan Shugar, Nextracker CEO and founder. “Our customers need ways to optimize solar power projects and overcome technical challenges. They come to us because they know we can execute with leading technology and a talented global team of experts, delivering on performance and profitability.”
Nextracker is off to a strong start in calendar year 2023. The company signed or announced a selection of notable global projects during FY23 Q4 including:
New South Wales, Australia – In March, Project engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, PCL Construction, and developer ACEN Australia, selected Nextracker for the 520 MW Stubbo solar power plant project based on the strength of its local market expertise and portfolio, as well as NX Horizon-XTR’s suitability to be constructed on the site’s uneven, rocky land, while significantly reducing cut and fill earthworks, reducing pier lengths, accelerating the project construction schedule.
“We’re delighted to be working with Nextracker on this landmark project for Australia,” said Gopi Govindraj, Country Manager, PCL Construction. “The Stubbo Solar project site presents an engineering challenge with its ground conditions, coupled with plans for sheep to cohabitate on the site, requiring a fast recovery of vegetation post-construction. Nextracker’s expertise and partnership on achieving these goals, as well as NX Horizon-XTR’s ability to bypass most of the groundworks, help us to overcome these challenges with ease.”
Mexico and Brazil –Atlas Renewable Energy, Latin America's largest independent power producer (IPP) in the solar renewable energy industry, is implementing Nextracker's TrueCapture™ technology in some of the largest solar plants in the region to date. Atlas has been a longstanding partner of Nextracker and an early adopter of the TrueCapture software, pioneering its introduction to Latin America and making it mainstream for most of its solar plants in the region. During the fourth quarter, Nextracker secured an additional 1.7 GW deal with Atlas to deploy TrueCapture technology on some of the company's largest solar projects to date.
"By implementing TrueCapture in most of our operating solar fleet we are building on Atlas's innovative approach to asset optimization to further uplevel our solar projects," said Carlos Barrera, CEO and founder of Atlas Renewable Energy. "Furthermore, we are very proud that our plants’ performance continues to rank among the most efficient in Latin America. This has helped us advance the solar industry in the region and present even more competitive solutions for our clients."
Garnacha, Spain – In March, IbVogt, a German international solar developer, chose Nextracker for the 150 MW Garnacha solar power plant in Spain. NX Horizon-XTR™ provides IbVogt with the solution it needs to easily overcome local environmental and permitting challenges. The project will provide power to Google under a 12-year power purchase agreement.
