“This is the third Redwood Solar Farm project that we have won through California’s RAM (Renewable Auction Mechanism) program, which is further proof of our strategic business model aligning with the program’s ability to deliver cost-effective solar. We are grateful to work with PG&E again, and are proud partners in bringing clean energy to their customers.”
