Avangrid's 238-MW True North Solar Project Achieves Commercial Operation
LCG, March 27, 2025--Avangrid, Inc., a member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced that its True North Solar project, located in Falls County, Texas, has achieved commercial operation. The True North Solar project will deliver electricity into ERCOT and support Meta’s operations, including Meta's upcoming data center in neighboring Temple, its second data center in Texas.
Avangrid has operated in Texas for more than 15 years. With the addition of the 238-MW (321 MWdc) True North Solar project, Avangrid now has seven projects in Texas, with a combined installed capacity of nearly 1.6 GW. According to Avangrid, these projects represent over $2 billion in direct investment in the Texas.
“True North is a milestone project for Avangrid and we are proud to see it generating electricity for the Texas grid,” said Avangrid's CEO. “With a projected boom in data center construction over the next several years that will significantly increase energy demand, projects like True North are and will be vital to ensuring the resiliency and reliability of the Texas electrical grid. Furthermore, these facilities represent new sources of locally produced power that will support the state’s growing economy for decades to come."
Avangrid partnered with New Mexico-based Array Technologies to procure solar trackers for the project, which also includes over 488,000 solar panels. These solar trackers are key components to solar projects, as they move the solar panels to track the sun and maximize energy production.
Array’s CEO stated, “Array Technologies is proud to support Avangrid in delivering reliable, renewable energy through the True North solar project. Our domestically manufactured solar trackers are supporting American jobs and designed to optimize energy production, ensuring that projects like this can meet the growing demand for electricity. This milestone highlights the strength of American manufacturing and the critical role of innovative solar technology in powering the future.”
Avangrid worked with Black & Veatch to design and construct the solar project.
