This huge Texas solar hub is nearly 1 GW, and it’s only half built
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Origis Energy has commissioned an additional 500 MWdc of solar capacity at its Rockhound complex in West Texas, bringing total operating capacity to nearly 1 GW. This makes Rockhound one of the largest renewable energy complexes in the US, though it is only half-built. The company plans to add another 1 GW of solar and battery storage by 2029, targeting data centers for co-location and long-term power contracts.
Renewable energy developer Origis Energy has brought another 500 megawatts (MWdc) of solar online at its Rockhound complex in West Texas, pushing the sprawling project’s operating capacity to nearly 1 gigawatt (GW).
The three newly completed phases are in Ector County and join Swift Air Solar, three adjoining Origis solar projects totaling about 500 MWdc within the Rockhound complex. Origis says Rockhound is now one of the largest renewable energy complexes in the US.
And it’s only about halfway built.
Origis plans to add another 1 GW of solar and battery storage at Rockhound by 2029, bringing the full complex to beyond 2 GW. The company is pitching the next phase to data centers for co-location and long-term corporate power contracts.
