ENGIE North America announced they recently completed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Google to supply 90 MW of renewable energy from its Chillingham solar project in Bell County, Texas.
To support its operations in Texas, Google will purchase a portion of the 350 MW facility’s output which is expected to commence operation later this year. The Chillingham solar project was developed by ENGIE, who will also construct and operate the project located north of Austin.
“We’re pleased to further our collaboration with ENGIE with new carbon-free energy from its Chillingham plant that will supply our operations in Texas with clean power,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, Global Head of Data Center Energy, Google. “This agreement is another example of how using our scalable procurement approach is transforming the way the industry sells and purchases power, and ultimately speeds up the development of carbon free electricity.”
Once operational, Chillingham, which will be ENGIE’s largest single solar project in the U.S. and will join the company’s portfolio of nearly 8 GW of renewable projects including solar, wind and battery storage in operation or construction across North America.
