据全球能源网1月27日消息称，Lightsource BP已经成功完成了一项3.8亿美元的融资计划，并动员建设位于得克萨斯州的Elm Branch和Briar Creek太阳能项目，这两个项目都位于达拉斯以南约40英里。这些项目的税收股权融资是由美国银行担保的。
预计这两个项目的商业运营将在2021年下半年开始建设。McCarthy建筑公司被Lightsource BP公司选为该项目的工程、采购和建设(EPC)承包商。McCarthy团队之所以被选中，是因为他们成功地建设了大型太阳能项目，并致力于从当地劳动力中招聘和雇佣员工。
McCarthy可再生能源与存储团队执行副总裁Scott Canada：“我们很荣幸能成为这个团队的一员，为德克萨斯州的社区带来清洁能源。在全国各地，我们看到了太阳能对社区的积极影响，因为社区采用清洁能源解决方案，以可再生能源为目标吸引大公司，并为不断增长的太阳能建筑部门提供就业机会。通过我们结构完善的培训项目和严格的设计阶段规划，我们能够帮助那些在当地工作的人，同时也建设一些最有效的太阳能设施，为其客户提供长期可靠的能源，这就是我们做我们现在做的事情的原因。这是非常有益的!”
