Avantus and Toyota Tsusho America have completed construction of a 159 MWdc solar project in Texas, adding another large-scale clean energy asset to the state’s fast-growing solar fleet.

The Norton Solar Project, in Runnels County southwest of Fort Worth, reached “substantial completion” in October 2025 and is now operational. The project’s full output is tied to a long-term virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) between Toyota Tsusho America and Toyota Motor North America.

The VPPA means Toyota Motor North America will be able to match its electricity use with the output from the Norton solar plant, supporting its broader clean energy goals. Corporate buyers like Toyota have increasingly turned to VPPAs to secure renewable energy without directly owning generation assets.

Toyota Tsusho America, the Toyota Group’s trading and project development arm that structures energy deals, partnered with Avantus to lock in clean power for Toyota Motor North America.
