As AI-driven data centers demand more reliable, clean energy, the need for a “power first” approach is becoming clear. In his latest blog, our CEO and Founder, Sheldon Kimber, explains why this shift is crucial and how it could reshape the future of energy infrastructure.
Today, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of American workers who drive our nation’s strength and prosperity. At Intersect Power, we are proud to honor this day by acknowledging the incredible efforts of the union labor that made our solar and storage facilities a reality. Specifically, we extend our gratitude to California’s LiUNA Local 1184, IBEW Local 440, and others who built our 679 MWp / 1 GWh Oberon Solar Storage and 310 MWp / 448 MWh Athos III Solar Storage Facilities. They brought together tons of US steel and more than 2.1 million US made solar panels in one of the harshest environments on the planet to make these plants a reality. Here’s to the collective strength and commitment of American labor and to ensuring the rewards of the clean energy transition are enjoyed by all Americans.

A team of Intersect Power volunteers, alongside leadership from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), recently participated in a food drive in Blythe, CA. Together, we sorted and distributed food to approximately 200 local families, highlighting our shared commitment to combating food insecurity in the Blythe community. This event not only supported those in need but also reinforced our strong partnership with FIND Food Bank. Since 2023, our collaboration with FIND Food Bank has resulted in over $100,000 in contributions to local food banks across Riverside County. Our recent donations include $40,000 to support the Blythe community and $50,000 to the Set Free Desert Center Food Pantry, supporting communities near our Athos III, Oberon & Easley projects. “Intersect Power’s generosity has had a profound impact on our ability to serve the Riverside County community,” said FIND Food Bank President and CEO Debbie Espinosa. “Their contributions are helping us provide essential food and resources to those facing food insecurity. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and commitment to our mission.” Check out recent coverage of our donations and the volunteer event here: https://brnw.ch/21wLXus
