Qué Hacemos
FirstLight Power se enfoca principalmente en soluciones de energía renovable, particularmente en energía hidroeléctrica, almacenamiento por bombeo, energía solar a gran escala, sistemas de baterías de gran tamaño y energía eólica tanto terrestre como marina. La empresa se especializa en soluciones híbridas que integran estas tecnologías para mejorar la fiabilidad de la red y contribuir a los esfuerzos de descarbonización en toda América del Norte (fuente: firstlight.energy). Con un portafolio que incluye más de 1,650 megavatios (MW) de activos de energía renovable y almacenamiento, FirstLight está desarrollando activamente un pipeline de más de 4 gigavatios (GW) de proyectos solares, de baterías, hidroeléctricos y eólicos. Esta capacidad extensa les permite ofrecer ventas de energía limpia, incluidos créditos de energía renovable, a una amplia gama de clientes (fuente: businessviewmagazine.com). La empresa atiende a clientes de servicios públicos, departamentos eléctricos municipales y redes regionales, suministrando energía a más de 21,000 hogares y negocios, particularmente en Nueva Inglaterra y el este de Canadá (fuente: firstlight.energy). Competitivamente, FirstLight se diferencia a través de su escala y expansiones estratégicas, como la adición de más de 200 MW en Québec y Ontario mediante la adquisición de Hydroméga Services Inc., posicionándose como un líder en soluciones híbridas de almacenamiento renovable (fuente: investpsp.com).
Proyectos y Trayectoria
Entre los proyectos notables de FirstLight se encuentra la Estación Generadora Shepaug, ubicada en el río Housatonic en Connecticut, que es la segunda fuente de energía renovable más grande del estado y la mayor instalación hidroeléctrica. Esta instalación juega un papel crucial en el suministro de energía de base confiable y ha contribuido significativamente a la creación del Lago Lillinonah (fuente: firstlight.energy). En Canadá, las antiguas instalaciones de H2O Power de FirstLight, que se originaron de ocho plantas hidroeléctricas en Ontario, han experimentado mejoras significativas, aumentando su capacidad de 131 MW a 151 MW a través de un programa de renovación integral que incluyó una renovación de $130 millones desde 2011 hasta 2021 (fuente: businessviewmagazine.com). El Proyecto Hidroeléctrico Okikendawt en Dokis, Ontario, también celebrará su décimo año de operación en 2024, mostrando el compromiso de FirstLight con asociaciones sostenibles con las comunidades locales, como la Nación Dokis (fuente: firstlight.energy). Además, los activos integrados de Hydroméga contribuyen con más de 135 MW de proyectos hidroeléctricos desarrollados desde 1987, junto con más de 1 GW de capacidad eólica en Québec, representando una parte significativa de la energía eólica instalada de la provincia (fuente: investpsp.com).
Desarrollos Recientes
En los últimos dos años, FirstLight Power ha logrado avances significativos, incluida la adquisición de Hydroméga Services Inc. el 22 de febrero de 2024, lo que amplió su capacidad operativa en Canadá a más de 200 MW y agregó un pipeline de desarrollo de 2 GW (fuente: investpsp.com). Además, el 6 de agosto de 2024, la empresa aseguró un acuerdo de compra de energía con el Departamento de Electricidad de Burlington por 54 GWh de energía hidroeléctrica y créditos de energía renovable VT-1 de la instalación Shepaug hasta 2025 (fuente: firstlight.energy). La empresa también celebró el décimo aniversario del proyecto Okikendawt en asociación con la Nación Dokis en el verano de 2024, destacando su compromiso con la participación comunitaria y el desarrollo sostenible (fuente: firstlight.energy). Además, FirstLight lanzó la iniciativa FirstLight Sustains en la primavera de 2023, destinada a apoyar el desarrollo comunitario y la educación ambiental (fuente: firstlight.energy). La empresa también fue reconocida como la Compañía de Energía Limpia del Año en la Gala del Futuro Verde, subrayando su crecimiento y compromiso con soluciones de energía limpia (fuente: firstlight.energy).
