About this update from Repsol Sa
Repsol has achieved commercial operations at its 825 MW Pinnington solar project, located in Texas, marking a significant milestone in the company's renewable growth strategy in the United States. Pinnington Solar has set a historic benchmark in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), becoming the largest single renewable project ever to reach Commercial Operation (COD). The construction of the Pinnington solar facility has generated a strong positive impact on the local economy, supporting approximately 700 local construction jobs and delivering meaningful economic activity during the development phase. Over its operational lifetime, the project will provide substantial tax revenue to surrounding communities, directly supporting local schools, emergency services and critical infrastructure. "Pinnington sets a new benchmark for renewable energy delivery in the U.S., 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", said Federico Toro, CEO of Repsol Renewables North America. Between this project and our other solar facilities currently operating in the US, Repsol has now surpassed the 2 GW mark in renewable capacity. In Texas, Repsol's renewable energy portfolio includes Frye (632 MW), Outpost (629 MW), and Pinnington (825 MW)-all of which are operational-as well as Pecan Prairie (595 MW), which is under construction, cementing the company's position as a key player in the state's energy transition. In addition, in New Mexico, the company operates the Jicarilla I and II solar and battery storage complex.
