By GlobalDataIt is estimated that the solar farms will displace more than 180,000mt of carbon emissions per year in Texas.
The facilities have already executed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with LyondellBasell, which has agreed to purchase 80% of the clean energy generated.
Black & Veatch provided engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the projects.
Black & Veatch chairman and CEO Mario Azar stated: “In addition to underscoring BAES Infrastructure’s forward thinking in the energy transition, this project demonstrates our commitment to leveraging our deep expertise in clean energy in ways that achieve our clients’ decarbonisation goals.”
In November 2022, Amberside Energy awarded a contract to Black & Veatch for an initial 2GW of solar and battery storage capacity in the UK.
