It is open to exploring potential partnerships within or outside of the renewable energy industry as it claims to have created 50 GW of renewable energy since its inception having installed more than 400 utility scale solar and wind energy systems across the US and Canada. In its current portfolio, Blattner said it has secured nearly 9.8 GW of wind, solar and storage to be built.
