The recently commissioned 170-MWDC Bartonsville Energy Facility solar project has been hailed by Virignia’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) as a model of environmental stewardship. This array was able to avoid environmentally disruptive grading of rural sites and less steel at a structural level using Nevados‘ All Terrain Tracker, a single-axis solar tracker.

The Governor’s Environmental Excellence Awards, an annual program run the DEQ in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation, has recognized the Bartonsville Energy Facility partners — MYR Energy Services, D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI) and Nevados — as gold medal winners in the Environmental and Sustainable Project category.
