Iberdrola starts construction of a photovoltaic plant in USA to supply power to Facebook

Posted on August 23, 2023 by info

Iberdrola’s US subsidiary Avangrid has begun construction of the 240 MW True North photovoltaic plant in Falls County (Texas). It will supply clean, renewable energy to power the operations of Meta, the parent company of the social network Facebook, in the region.

Since 2020, Meta’s global operations have been supported by 100% renewable energy. The True North project will support Meta’s upcoming data centre in Temple City, its second data centre facility in Texas.

True North, Avangrid’s first solar farm in Texas, is expected to reach commercial operation in early 2025. During construction and operation, True North will create more than 200 jobs and is expected to pay more than $40 million in property taxes over 25 years in the state, where the company already operates more than 1,250 MW of onshore wind facilities.

“We are very pleased to announce this milestone, which reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing the clean energy transition and building a more sustainable future for all”, said Pedro Azagra, CEO of Avangrid. “With projects like True North, we continue our mission to help the country meet its ambitious energy goals, while creating quality jobs and strengthening our local economies”.


US ENERGY LEADER

In less than two decades, Iberdrola has become one of the largest groups in the North American electricity sector, listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2015.

Headquartered in Orange, Connecticut, and with approximately $40 billion in assets, the firm has a presence in 24 states and manages nearly 10,000 MW of installed capacity, including more than 8,600 MW of renewables (primarily wind and solar PV), and more than 130,000 kilometres of power lines through eight distributors in New York, Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts. The company serves a population of 10 million people in the United States.

Iberdrola has a portfolio of more than 25,000 MW of high-quality renewable projects in the United States, representing a stable platform for continued growth over the coming years as the country meets its decarbonisation targets.

Avangrid continues to make significant progress in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas. This month, for the sixth year in a row, Avangrid repeated in the FTSE4Good index.

Iberdrola construye una planta fotovoltaica en Texas para suministrar energía a Facebook

La filial estadounidense de Iberdrola, Avangrid, ha comenzado la construcción de la planta fotovoltaica True North, de 240 MW, en Falls County (Texas). Con ella, suministrará energía limpia y renovable para abastecer las operaciones de Meta, la matriz de la red social Facebook, en la región.

Desde 2020, las operaciones globales de Meta han sido apoyadas por energía 100 % renovable. El proyecto True North respaldará el próximo centro de datos de Meta en la ciudad de Temple, su segunda instalación de centro de datos en Texas. 

Se espera que True North, el primer parque solar de Avangrid en Texas, alcance la fase de operaciones comerciales a principios de 2025. Durante su construcción y operación, True North creará más de 200 puestos de trabajo y se espera que abone más de 40 millones de dólares en impuestos sobre la propiedad durante 25 años en este estado, en el que la compañía ya opera más de 1.250 MW de instalaciones eólicas terrestres.

“Estamos muy contentos de anunciar este hito, que refleja nuestro compromiso inquebrantable con el avance de la transición hacia la energía limpia y la construcción de un futuro más sostenible para todos”, ha declarado Pedro Azagra, CEO de Avangrid. “Con proyectos como True North, continuamos nuestra misión de ayudar al país a cumplir sus ambiciosos objetivos energéticos, al tiempo que creamos empleos de calidad y fortalecemos nuestras economías locales”.


LÍDER ENERGÉTICO EN ESTADOS UNIDOS

En menos de dos décadas, Iberdrola se ha convertido en uno de los mayores grupos del sector eléctrico norteamericano, cotizando desde 2015 en la bolsa de Nueva York. 

Con sede en Orange, Connecticut, y con aproximadamente 40.000 millones de dólares en activos, la firma está presente en 24 estados y gestiona cerca de 10.000 MW de capacidad instalada, de los cuales más de 8.600 MW de renovables (principalmente eólica y solar fotovoltaica), y más de 130.000 kilómetros de líneas eléctricas a través de ocho distribuidoras en Nueva York, Connecticut, Maine y Massachusetts. La compañía presta servicio a una población de 10 millones de personas en Estados Unidos. 

Iberdrola cuenta en Estados Unidos con una cartera de proyectos renovables de alta calidad de más de 25.000 MW, que representan una plataforma estable de crecimiento continuado durante los próximos años a medida que el país cumple sus objetivos de descarbonización. 

Avangrid continúa realizando importantes progresos en los ámbitos medioambiental, social y de gobernanza (ESG, por sus siglas en inglés). Este mes ha repetido, por sexto ejercicio consecutivo, en el índice FTSE4Good.
