Hanwha Q CELLS Leads U.S. Renewable Energy Market... Takes on EPC for Energy Park 22 Times the Size of Yeouido

Full EPC Execution for Atlas Energy Park
Reliable Supply Through Manufacturing Complex and Secured ESS Equipment Supply Chain
"Leading the Growth of the North American Renewable Energy Market"

Hanwha Solutions Qcells Division (Hanwha Q CELLS) announced on July 10 that it is carrying out the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the Atlas Energy Park—one of the largest renewable energy projects in U.S. history—and that it has recently completed the sale of certain assets from the project.

Located in La Paz County, Arizona, the Atlas Energy Park is a comprehensive energy complex consisting of 14 solar power and energy storage system (ESS) projects. The park is 22 times the size of Yeouido, making it the largest renewable energy complex built in the United States. By 2028, the site is expected to include solar power plants with a total capacity of 2.8 gigawatts (GW) and an ESS complex with a total capacity of 5.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

Hanwha Q CELLS is responsible for the EPC of all projects within the Atlas Energy Park and will supply all of the solar modules to be installed in the solar projects. Of particular note, two solar power plants with a total capacity of 357 megawatts (MW)—which Hanwha Q CELLS handled from initial development through EPC—were successfully sold in May.

Hanwha Q CELLS operates a vertically integrated solar manufacturing hub in Georgia, enabling it to reliably supply solar modules, and the company has also secured a local supply chain for ESS equipment in the United States. In the U.S. EPC market, where energy developers that use domestically produced equipment are eligible for various institutional benefits such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Domestic Content Bonus Credit (DCBC), Hanwha Q CELLS is able to procure equipment locally, making it a preferred partner for many developers.

Leveraging these manufacturing and procurement capabilities, Hanwha Q CELLS has been successfully carrying out solar and ESS EPC projects in the United States since 2017. As of last year, the total volume of renewable energy EPC projects completed or underway by Hanwha Q CELLS in the North American market exceeded 11 GW in solar and 6 GWh in ESS. Going forward, Hanwha Q CELLS plans to further expand its renewable energy EPC business nationwide in the United States—not only in solar power generation but also in a variety of ESS projects that can help alleviate grid stress and buffer the load fluctuations of data centers, in response to the surging demand for energy driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

Chris Hodrick, Head of EPC Business at Hanwha Q CELLS, stated, "Atlas Energy Park is a symbolic project that once again demonstrates Hanwha Q CELLS’ EPC capabilities, local supply chain strength in the United States, and comprehensive business expertise—from development to construction and asset sales. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance customer value and business competitiveness with integrated solutions combining solar and ESS, and lead the growth of the North American renewable energy market."
