Daybreak Solar, with a capacity of 189 Megawatts DC (140 MWac), and Bakeoven Solar, with a capacity of 80 MWdc (60 MWac), represent new, domestic capacity that will support growing demand for electricity and bolster the region’s energy availability and reliability. "Completing these two projects marks the latest milestone in a pivotal investment in Wasco County, bringing new jobs, modern infrastructure, and a more resilient power grid for Oregon," said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. "Together with PGE and Intel, we’re delivering a new source of reliable power that will energize Oregon’s communities and industries for decades to come." Avangrid installed a combined 650,000 solar panels at Daybreak and Bakeoven, which are located adjacent to each other. Together, the projects are expected to produce hundreds of gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, strengthening grid reliability and supporting growing commercial and industrial demand. Construction supported over 300 construction jobs, filled mainly by local union labor. Avangrid estimates the two projects will generate approximately $40 million in tax revenue over their life span. The projects also support several permanent, full-time jobs for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the facilities, adding to the local employment base. Daybreak and Bakeoven are the first commercial-scale solar projects built in Wasco County. "Our region has a history of energy production, and now we are finding other ways to harness our abundant regional resources like the Eastern Oregon sunshine and Columbia Gorge Winds to meet growing demand from the new ways we are using electricity," said Phil Brady, Wasco County Commissioner. ...
