Cleanleaf Energy, formerly Borrego O&M, has announced the signing of new utility-scale projects totaling 350 MW in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

This addition represents a significant boost to the utility-scale portfolio of Cleanleaf, which operates and manages solar and battery energy storage (BESS) renewable energy projects,

Cleanleaf’s Realtime Operations Center (ROC) in Dallas will support the newly acquired projects. The center is primed to address client needs promptly, ensuring reliability, Cleanleaf says.

“This achievement underscores our capabilities and readiness to handle more utility-scale projects and the synergies of our large DG footprint in 27 states combined with a growing utility-scale portfolio creates an exciting future for effective, high-performing O&M services to the solar industry. We are excited about the future and our role in making the energy transition a permanent reality,” said Cleanleaf’s CEO Mikael Backman.

“We did our homework, and Cleanleaf stood out with the most advanced and competitive services,” added a spokesperson from Heelstone Renewable Energy in a release. “We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship on these and future projects.

Cleanleaf Energy was formed around June 2022 when Borrego O&M announced the spin-off and sale of its solar and energy storage development business to maximize its focus on engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and operations and maintenance (O&M) work.
