At the CLEANPOWER 2026 conference in Houston, SOLV Energy showcased its growing portfolio of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the United States, highlighting more than 4 GWdc of large-scale developments, each exceeding 600 MWdc in size. The announcement reflects the increasing scale of renewable energy infrastructure being developed to meet rising electricity demand across the country.
The company’s projects span all major U.S. Independent System Operator (ISO) regions, demonstrating its ability to support customers in a variety of energy markets. These large-scale developments are part of SOLV Energy’s broader portfolio, which includes projects of different sizes and has pushed the company’s average project size under construction or contract to more than 300 MWdc.
Among the major projects currently underway are a 910 MWdc development in Nevada that combines solar generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology; an 820 MWdc solar project in Texas that includes SCADA systems; and a 1,200 MWdc multi-phase project in Arizona featuring solar generation, battery storage, and SCADA infrastructure.
The Arizona project is particularly significant as it represents the largest single contract award in SOLV Energy’s history.The company is also developing a 1,150 MWdc project in Texas across two major phases, incorporating solar generation, substations, transmission infrastructure, and SCADA systems. In North Carolina, SOLV Energy is working on a 650 MWdc project that includes solar facilities, substations, transmission assets, and SCADA technology.
Once completed, it is expected to be the largest renewable energy project in the state and one of the largest on the U.S. East Coast.These developments highlight the growing complexity of modern renewable energy projects, which increasingly integrate solar generation, battery storage, transmission networks, substations, and advanced control systems into a single infrastructure platform.
As project sizes continue to expand, developers are seeking partners capable of managing every stage of development and construction while ensuring reliable long-term performance.George Hershman, Chief Executive Officer of SOLV Energy, said that as renewable energy projects move toward gigawatt-scale capacity, customers require experienced partners with the resources and operational expertise to execute large and technically demanding developments.
He noted that the company’s expanding pipeline of major projects reflects both strong customer relationships and its ability to manage projects throughout their entire lifecycle.In addition to engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, SOLV Energy provides a range of long-term support solutions designed to maximize asset performance.
These services include operations and maintenance (O&M), high-voltage testing, SCADA engineering, and performance optimization. The company currently supports nearly 22 GW of operating solar and energy storage assets across approximately 155 sites throughout the United States.SOLV Energy’s expertise and scale have earned it significant recognition within the industry, including a position among the top five U.S. power contractors ranked by Engineering News-Record (ENR).
The company’s continued growth reflects the increasing demand for large-scale renewable energy infrastructure as utilities, businesses, and governments work to expand clean energy capacity and strengthen grid reliability.
As part of CLEANPOWER 2026, CEO George Hershman is also scheduled to participate in a panel discussion titled “Scaling American Energy Manufacturing in a High-Growth Market.” The session will bring together industry leaders to discuss challenges and opportunities related to supply chain constraints, trade dynamics, policy uncertainty, and the expansion of domestic manufacturing and infrastructure needed to meet the country’s growing energy needs.
