Hanwha Qcells to build massive energy complex in Arizona

Hanwha Solutions’ Qcells Division (Hanwha Qcells) has completed EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) work on Atlas Energy Park, one of the largest renewable energy projects in U.S. history, and recently completed the sale of some of its assets.

Located in La Paz County, Arizona, Atlas Energy Park is a complex of 14 solar and ESS projects. By 2028, it is expected to include solar power plants with a total capacity of 2.8 GW and ESS facilities with a total capacity of 5.7 GWh. The project will cover 63.66 km²—about 22 times the area of Yeouido—and is one of the largest renewable energy projects ever built in the United States.

Hanwha Qcells will handle EPC for all projects at Atlas Energy Park and supply all the modules to be installed in its solar projects. In May, the company completed the sale of two solar power plants with a combined capacity of 357 MW, which it developed and built itself, further demonstrating its development and EPC capabilities.

Hanwha Qcells operates the vertically integrated Solar Hub manufacturing complex in Georgia, enabling a reliable supply of solar modules, and has also secured a local U.S. supply chain for ESS equipment. These capabilities help explain why many developers choose Hanwha Qcells in the U.S. EPC market, where energy companies that use domestically manufactured equipment can qualify for incentives such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Domestic Content Bonus Credit (DCBC).

Building on its manufacturing and procurement capabilities, Hanwha Qcells has successfully carried out solar and ESS EPC projects in the United States since 2017. As of 2026, the total capacity of renewable energy EPC projects the company has completed or is developing in North America exceeds 11 GW of solar and 6 GWh of ESS. Going forward, Hanwha Qcells plans to pursue a range of renewable energy EPC projects across the United States to meet surging demand driven by the spread of AI data centers. These will include not only solar and other renewable power generation projects but also ESS projects that can ease pressure on the grid and buffer fluctuations in data center loads.

“Atlas Energy Park is a landmark project that once again demonstrates Hanwha Qcells’ EPC capabilities, local U.S. supply chain and end-to-end expertise spanning development, construction and asset sales,” said Chris Hodrick, head of EPC at Hanwha Qcells. “We will continue to lead the growth of the North American renewable energy market by combining solar and ESS in integrated solutions that enhance customer value and our competitiveness.”
