Congratulations to the many colleagues who worked hard to close financing and start construction on Clearway Energy Group's Clearway’s Pine Forest solar and energy storage project in the Lone Star State! Pine Forest is our first combined solar and energy storage project in Texas – a state where grid reliability and meeting increasing energy demand are front of mind for residents, businesses, and industry. Starting next year, Pine Forest will help meet both those challenges by deploying stored energy to the grid when it’s needed and by generating enough electricity to power over 90,000 homes. It takes a village to bring together a $660 million infrastructure investment like Pine Forest. Thank you to our world-class partners, customers, and the supportive community of Hopkins County for helping us reach this important milestone!
Another grid-enhancing energy project is officially underway in Texas! 🎉 We just closed financing and started construction on Pine Forest, Clearway’s 300 MW solar and 200 MW storage facility in Hopkins County. Pine Forest will generate enough clean electricity to power over 90,000 homes with reliable, low-cost energy – and the battery energy storage system will dispatch power when demand is high, providing valuable flexibility to the Texas grid. 🏘 🔋 Pine Forest will create 350 construction jobs, contribute millions of dollars of direct investment to the local community, and generate more than $58 million in property taxes over the next 20 years. 🏫 🚓 Thank you to our customers, Dell Technologies and Universal, the Hopkins County community, and our many other partners for teaming up on Pine Forest!
