. Power Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of the German renewables group BayWa r.e. AG, has successfully completed the construction of a 200-MWac/260-MWdc project in Northern , officially transferring operations to Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), a complex operated by Barrick Gold Corp. The solar farm spans approximately 1,500 acres and is expected to generate 17% of NGM's annual power demand, significantly reducing the miner's reliance on -based electricity sources.

BayWa r.e. Power Solutions managed the project and conducted all electrical work and solar module installations. The construction was executed in two phases, with the first phase becoming operational in December 2023 and the second phase following in June 2024.

Kevin Sessions, Head of Projects & Energy at Nevada Gold Mines, expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, “The BayWa r.e. team partnered with us to strategize material selection and procurement, manage construction while ensuring compliance to our project's requirement for Nevada-based labor, and commission both phases of our 200MW solar array. The project was completed safely, on time, and within budget.”

The successful completion of this project underscores BayWa r.e.'s commitment to delivering solutions while supporting local economic development through job creation in Nevada.
