Enbridge’s first solar facility in Texas has started operations and has delivered electrons to the grid, the company said June 4.
Located near Corpus Christi, Texas, the 130-megawatt (MW) Orange Grove Solar project generates electricity from about 300,000 solar panels sitting on 920 acres. The startup of operations for the project, which has a virtual power purchase agreement in place with AT&T, was recognized recently with a ribbon-cutting event that brought together nearby landowners and Enbridge team members.
“We are pleased to be able to deliver additional zero-emission electricity into the grid in support of local and Texas statewide economic growth and energy demand,” said Matthew Akman, Enbridge’s executive vice president of corporate strategy and president of the company’s power business. “Enbridge is proud to operate a wide range of critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf Coast area, including liquids pipelines and export facilities, natural gas pipelines and storage, as well as wind and now solar power.”
Construction is already underway for Enbridge’s second solar facility in Texas. The 815-MW Sequoia Solar project in Callahan County is expected to begin commercial operations in 2026.
