Toyota Tsusho America and Avantus have completed the Norton Solar Project, a 159 MWdc solar farm in Texas, which is now operational. This project is part of a long-term virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Toyota Motor North America, allowing the company to align its electricity consumption with renewable energy output, supporting its clean energy objectives. The VPPA model is increasingly favored by corporate buyers to secure renewable energy without owning generation assets.
