Nexamp has announced a partnership with Walmart to develop 31 community solar projects across the United States, expected to generate over 120 MW (DC) of renewable energy.
This collaboration is their second, following a previous joint effort in 2021 for community solar projects in New York.
The new solar farms, located in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, and Minnesota, aim to provide affordable renewable energy to local businesses and residential subscribers.
The projects are expected to create approximately 1,500 jobs during the construction and operational phases.
Nexamp, a US-based company, specializes in the deployment and management of solar energy assets, providing services across the entire solar project lifecycle, from development to operations and maintenance.

Author: PPD Team Date: August 5, 2025 The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has issued updated guidelines for its pilot initiative to advance the use of innovative technologies in Green Hydrogen production and application. The revised framework focuses on demonstrating new production methods such as floating solar systems, biomass-based technologies, and wastewater-based hydrogen generation. It also encourages testing decentralised applications, including cooking, space heating, off-grid power, and off-road transport. Another priority is to…
Author: PPD Team Date: May 10, 2025 The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM), making it easier for low-wattage solar modules used in off-grid applications to qualify. The change applies to category-III off-grid systems such as solar lamps, street lights, and fans. These systems, with modules under 200 Wp capacity, will now require only 18 per cent minimum efficiency for enlistment. This applies to…
