Located in\u00a0Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)\u00a0territory, the\u00a0Pinnington\u00a0facility\u00a0comprises\u00a0approximately 1.5 million solar panels.\u00a0Through the project, the company created 700 jobs locally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPinnington\u00a0sets a new benchmark for renewable energy delivery in the US, combining unprecedented scale with exceptional pace. Achieving commercial operations reflects strong execution, a deep safety culture, and the commitment of the teams and partners behind this project\u201d,\u00a0said Federico Toro, CEO of Repsol Renewables North America.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
With this project, Repsol\u2019s US renewables portfolio expanded\u00a0to more than 2GW.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company entered the US market in 2021 with the acquisition of a 40% stake in solar and energy storage developer Hecate Energy. However, last year\u00a0Repsol agreed to sell its 40% stake in US renewables developer Hecate Energy<\/a>, settling an outstanding dispute.\u00a0<\/p>\n Apart from Pennington, Repsol\u00a0operates\u00a0several projects in Texas including\u00a0the\u00a0632MW Frye<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0629MW Outpost solar projects<\/a>. Repsol is also developing the 595MW Pecan Prairie solar project, which\u00a0remains\u00a0under construction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to its Texas portfolio, Repsol also\u00a0operates\u00a0the Jicarilla I and II solar-plus-storage complex in New Mexico, further diversifying its US renewable generation assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n Texas\u00a0remains\u00a0a leading state in the US solar market, supported by rising power demand, abundant land and streamlined permitting.\u00a0According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), Texas ranks second in the US for cumulative installed solar capacity, with 51.9GW currently online. The state is also expected to add a further 32.3GW over the next five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Located in\u00a0Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)\u00a0territory, the\u00a0Pinnington\u00a0facility\u00a0comprises\u00a0approximately 1.5 million solar panels.\u00a0Through the project, the company created 700…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[14942,14943,14944,127,7908,1511,30],"class_list":["post-29807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-repsol","tag-ercot","tag-pinnington-solar-project","tag-pv-power-plants","tag-repsol","tag-solar-pv","tag-texas","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
