Avantus has sold its Catclaw Solar and Energy Storage Project to D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI). 

Located in Buckeye, Ariz., in Maricopa County, the project features 225 MW of solar and 250 MW of energy storage. The transaction includes a long-term PPA with Arizona Public Service (APS) for the project.

Avantus was responsible for the initial greenfield development, including interconnection, site acquisition and permitting, as well as commercial negotiations with APS and the procurement of select equipment, including batteries.

“At Avantus, we are committed to pushing forward the transition to a sustainable economy by developing safe, reliable clean energy projects,” says Jason Moretz, Ph.D, Avantus’ executive vice president of Development.

“Catclaw is a perfect example of this commitment and will provide economic and environmental benefits to Arizona and the local community, while helping Arizona manage increasing demand for power during heatwaves. Today’s announcement marks the first Arizona project in our portfolio to reach this milestone and furthers our long-standing relationship with DESRI.”

Catclaw marks the fourth project Avantus has sold to DESRI, which DESRI expects to bring online in 2026.

The company says the project is designed with open spaces between the solar arrays to minimize disturbance to natural drainage patterns and preserve wildlife corridors. This approach was developed in collaboration with Avantus, the City of Buckeye and the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Foley & Lardner served as legal counsel for Avantus.

Getting Rid of Trump

Published

Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.

It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months.  But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it.  Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.

We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.

Steve Bannon on the Consequences of a Blue Tsunami in November

Yes, Hegseth and RFK, Jr. will be gone, but I think what’s going to happen first is the decapitation of the snake itself, i.e., the removal of Trump from the presidency.

Based on the news on social media, this could happen via the 25th Amendment, based on Trump’s mental deterioration.  In my view, that’s a shame.  If he’s not criminally prosecuted, this nation will be deprived of letting the American people and the rest of the world know that rule of law still matters in the United States.
