Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) and solar cell manufacturer Ebon Solar jointly announced that a nearly $1 billion solar cell factory will be built in New Mexico. Ebon Solar will invest an estimated $942 million to build an 834,000-square-foot solar cell manufacturing facility in Albuquerque’s Mesa del Sol industrial development area. The project will create over 900 new jobs. The Delaware-based company is aiming to develop beginning-to-end advanced manufacturing of solar cells.
