Avangrid has achieved commercial operations of the True North Solar project. This is a 238 MW solar project situated in Texas, US. The solar project will deliver energy to the Texas Grid. It will also support Meta’s operations, including its upcoming data center facility in Texas.
Furthermore, the True North Solar project represents a $369 million investment in central Texas. It has created approximately 300 jobs for people in the region. Additionally, the project will contribute $40 million in property taxes throughout its lifetime. Avangrid partnered with ARRAY Technologies to procure solar trackers for the project.
Earlier in December 2024, Avangrid, along with Portland General Electric (PGE), inked a power purchase agreement for the development of Tower Solar, a 120 MWac under-construction solar project in Morrow County, Oregon, in collaboration with QTS and Meta. This utility-scale solar facility will deliver clean energy to PGE’s Green Future Impact GFI program.
