Founded in 2015, NewSun Energy became a leading utility-scale renewables developer and owner-operator in the Pacific Northwest with a small team of regionally focused experts. Despite their success, NewSun faced challenges navigating the constantly evolving, complex solar market due to their lean organizational structure, limited bandwidth, and procurement resources. Historically, they maintained relationships with a few direct module vendors and EPCs for module pricing but found difficulty staying on top of the intricate dynamics of the solar supply chain and ever-changing trade issues.
In April 2024, a new AD/CVD petition was filed concerning cells and panels manufactured in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, significantly impacting module import strategies for the market. NewSun sought a proactive approach to reduce AD/CVD risk and ensure competitive pricing for their pipeline consisting of several hundred MWs of construction-ready projects.
