NuQuest Energy Powers Forward with 800+ Megawatts of Utility-Scale Solar and Wind Projects in MISO, Expands into New Markets

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuQuest Energy, an early-stage renewable energy developer, today announced significant milestones in its mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The company’s 800 megawatt portfolio of originated solar and wind projects was submitted to the April 2024 MISO queue, building on its track record of over a gigawatt of projects submitted in the 2022 MISO queue.

“We are thrilled about having 800 megawatts of our projects submitted to the MISO queue,” said Alex Guitart, NuQuest Energy’s Co-Founder. “This achievement showcases our team’s talents and validates our approach to prospect generation.

The company’s proprietary Terravolt site intelligence and assessment system has been an instrumental tool in achieving these milestones.

“We are very excited about our work in the ERCOT market where we are pursuing over a gigawatt of standalone battery energy storage and solar hybrid projects,” said Andrew Makee, NuQuest’s Vice President of Development. “Our leadership team’s background and experience in the oil and gas industry uniquely position us to navigate the competitive ERCOT landscape.”

NuQuest Energy remains committed to advancing utility-scale renewable energy development across MISO while strategically seeking to expand its partnerships and footprint in other markets.
