Coronal Group and Panasonic Eco Solutions have completed the 89-hectare Coronal Lost Hills Solar Project, which will produce enough energy to power around 5,200 Southern California homes through a 20-year power purchase agreement with utility Southern California Edison.
Jonathan Jaffrey, CEO of Coronal, said: "The successful, on-time completion of the Lost Hills project is further proof of both the success of our platform and of growing interest among utility companies to transition projects to the Coronal-Panasonic team to complete and manage. Together with Panasonic we now own and operate a portfolio of solar facilities in North America totaling nearly 100 megawatts.”
The 26MW plant produces 54,620 MWh of emission-free solar power — equal to taking 8,000 cars off the road. Built by Panasonic and Swinerton Builders, the installation utilises PV panels mounted on horizontal-axis trackers that rotate with the sun’s positioning.
Jamie Evans, head of Panasonic’s U.S. Eco Solutions business, added: “The Coronal Lost Hills project, completed in just under five months, exemplifies the Coronal-Panasonic team's ability to execute agreements and quickly bring solar projects into operation. Utility-scale solar projects, like the Coronal Lost Hills project that provides electricity for 5,200 homes, are vital to meeting the demand for clean, sustainable energy across North America."
