Swift Current Energy, a Boston-headquartered developer, owner and operator of utility-scale clean energy assets, has contracted with First Solar for 500 MW of its Series 7 thin-film modules.
This order will see modules delivered between 2027 and 2028. The company previously placed orders for 3.3 GW of First Solar modules last year.
“As we continue to progress our US development pipeline, certainty of pricing and supply is essential to ensuring that we deliver capacity as planned,” says Eric Lammers, co-founder and CEO of Swift Current Energy. “This latest agreement with First Solar supports our effort to build a resilient, competitive value chain while supporting investments in domestic manufacturing.”
First Solar has approximately 6 GW of operational, fully vertically integrated nameplate capacity in the U.S. In addition to its third Ohio factory, commissioned earlier this year, First Solar anticipates further expanding its footprint in the state by 0.9 GW while building new manufacturing facilities in Alabama and Louisiana, each with an expected annual nameplate capacity of 3.5 GW.

Swift Current Energy Signs 500 MW Supply Deal with First Solar
When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”
Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.

I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
I thought that was clever.
