Looking to manage the project and development data of their Blythe Solar Power Project, Solar Millennium, LLC, the project development subsidiary of integrated solar solutions company Solar Trust of America, LLC, has selected Skire’s Unifier solution, Skire has announced.

Skire’s Unifier has helped manage over $300 billion in capital projects and over three billion square feet of facilities and real estate.

Estimated to take up to five years to build, themulti-billion dollar project is the largest active development project in the United States today. Solar Millennium plans to use Unifier during the entire development process. Offering enough electricity to annually power 300,000 single family homes, the solar facility is expected to provide 1,000 megawatts (MW) of nominal engineering capacity when completed.

“Skire is honored to be serving such an important role on such a groundbreaking project,” said Skire’s executive vice president Trenton Brown. “We are confident that Unifier will deliver maximum control over this project by putting important standards and processes in place right away. We understand how critical it is to keep projects on time and on budget and Unifier will help accomplish these goals.”

Unifier enables efficient collaboration between multiple project partners, stakeholders and government agencies by providing access to all project data in real time and is designed to improve operations, reduce costs and enhance service delivery. It enables all team members to follow the same standards and contributes to the success of the team. With Unifier, Solar Millennium will be able to access all project data in real time, the company has stated.

In April 2008, Michigan State University (MSU) launched Skire Unifier with its internal capital project management team, provided it with collaboration capabilities and exceptional control and visibility into individual capital projects and across its project and facilities portfolio.
