The project marks SolRiver’s 12th project in the Carolinas

ADVANCE, N.C., March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SolRiver Capital, a Denver-based renewable energy investment firm, announced the start of onsite construction at its 7 MW Longleaf Solar Project in Davie County, North Carolina. SolRiver acquired the project as a development asset, finished the remaining development work, and brought the project to Notice to Proceed (NTP). The project will be owned and operated as part of the company’s larger Carolinas portfolio.

Riley Sullivan, Executive Vice President at SolRiver Capital, commented, “When we purchased the Longleaf project, it wasn’t quite ready to build yet. Fortunately, we have a good playbook for wrapping up development and getting projects built.”

Once finished, SolRiver will have brought a dozen solar projects online in the Carolinas, totaling approximately 100 MW of generating capacity. Longleaf Solar is expected to become operational in Q2 2025. The company is also building the Williams project, a 6 MW installation expected to come online around the same time as Longleaf.

Brandon Conard, Managing Partner at SolRiver Capital, stated, “We’ve been active in this market since 2019 and are happy to add more assets to the mix in North and South Carolina.”

The project is utilizing safe-harbor panels purchased and delivered in 2023. Eligible for safe harbor, these panels were stored in a North Carolina warehouse and have been deployed on this project as well as several other projects built over the past two years. Panel deliveries were recently completed at the Longleaf site. “This approach helped us stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.” added Brandon Conard.

Our product has earned respect and appreciation from sports enthusiasts nationwide. Expanding our coverage to include additional college basketball divisions felt like the natural next step, and we are extremely excited to contribute our unique data insights into this space.”

The Versus Sports Simulator platform empowers sports fans, analysts, and bracket enthusiasts with proprietary mathematical models that generate precise predictions and valuable insights.

Info-Tech Research Group unveils a comprehensive four-step blueprint to help IT leaders navigate the growing complexity of AI compliance. The risk-based approach outlined in the resource provides IT leaders with crucial insights to mitigate legal exposure, stay ahead of tightening global regulations, and address emerging ethical challenges in the AI landscape.

TORONTO, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace, bringing both opportunities and regulatory challenges for organizations worldwide. Recent developments, such as Spain’s new law imposing fines on unlabeled AI-generated content and legal action against Meta in France over AI training data, highlight the growing scrutiny surrounding AI compliance. Global research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group has a newly published resource, Develop an AI Compliance Strategy that provides organizations with a structured and risk-based approach to navigating these challenges. By following the framework outlined in this research, IT leaders can balance innovation with accountability, strengthen customer trust, and ensure long-term success.

“AI technologies are rapidly advancing, and complex regulations are emerging constantly to keep pace. Different jurisdictions have their own AI regulations, leading to a patchwork of rules that organizations must navigate,” says Safayat Moahamad, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “While there is a growing need for AI solutions to address various business challenges, organizations must be cognizant of the obligations they may be subject to.”

Info-Tech’s insights in its Develop an AI Compliance Strategy resource explores the challenges and opportunities organizations face with the rapid rise of AI. The firm’s researchers highlight that AI applications rely on extensive data processing, making data privacy and security key concerns. As organizations work to address these challenges, establishing a clear and effective AI compliance strategy becomes essential. This process requires careful planning and prioritization to ensure compliance efforts are both comprehensive and manageable. Info-Tech advises that adopting a risk-based approach aligned with global standards allows organizations to focus on critical activities and navigate regulatory requirements with confidence.

“Business leaders have a responsibility to understand which local, national, and industry-specific regulations and standards for AI apply to their organization,” explains Moahamad. “They must identify AI systems, applications, and related vendors used within the organization.”

Info-Tech has outlined a four-step approach to help organizations proactively anticipate and address AI regulatory requirements. As AI continues to present significant opportunities for innovation and efficiency, the firm explains in its blueprint that it is crucial for organizations to balance these advantages with the challenges of compliance, transparency, and trust.

The four-step approach for IT leaders navigating AI regulatory requirements includes:

Identify AI systems and applications: Gain visibility by identifying current and planned AI solutions and develop a comprehensive portfolio of AI investments.Define controls necessary to govern the AI system: Establish controls that align with regulatory obligations and best practices to assess compliance with a responsible AI framework.Implement tasks and actions to mitigate risks: Prioritize initiatives to create a roadmap for achieving compliance, ensuring stakeholders are aligned on implementing necessary controls within established timelines.Monitor the effectiveness of the compliance program: Define metrics to track progress, periodically reviewing metrics and communicating updates to stakeholders.

By following the structured approach detailed in the blueprint, organizations can streamline the complex process of managing AI compliance. Info-Tech’s data-backed research advocates for a risk-based strategy aligned with international standards, enabling organizations to focus on critical tasks while addressing data privacy, security concerns, and regulatory obligations. This comprehensive strategy fosters responsible AI development to help IT leaders minimize legal and reputational risks and drive long-term success.
