Recognized by Wood Mackenzie as the fourth largest utility-scale O&M provider in US by managed capacity, Cypress Creek operates 393 projects in 19 states, with a large presence in the Carolinas and a growing presence in Texas, Oregon, New York and throughout the Northeast and Southeast. Almost half of the 3,000MW portfolio that the company's O&M Services division now operates are for third-party owners.
"Cypress Creek O&M Services is a key driver to the company's mission of powering a sustainable future, one project at time," said Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek Renewables. "Our team pushes the boundaries of performance across 393 projects and is significantly contributing to Cypress Creek growth as a leading U.S. solar independent power producer."
At the core of Cypress Creek's O&M capabilities is the 24/7/365 Cypress Creek Control Center (C4) in Durham, North Carolina. This facility allows the team to securely operate solar sites and maximize production. The C4 is just one of a handful of North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) – Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) compliant control centers in the country operated by a solar energy-only company. In March 2020, SERC Reliability Corporation conducted a Reliability Standards and Requirements audit, making Cypress Creek one of the first solar-specific companies to be audited. SERC completed the audit with no findings.
"As a large solar asset owner, we bring an owner's perspective to each project we operate, whether it is on behalf of Cypress Creek or third-party customers," said Marc Fioravanti, Senior Vice President of Operations. "Much of our recent growth has come from repeat business with customers across 19 states because our team of engineers, technicians and business professionals have proven our ability to gain the most value from solar assets across the country."
