NextEra Energy Resources has signed a renewable power-purchase agreement with INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA, which would enable the construction of a new 310-megawatt solar project in north central Texas.
The INEOS Hickerson Solar Farm will be constructed, owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, the world’s largest generator of renewable energy from wind and sun and a leader in battery storage. The entire output of the new solar project will be dedicated to INEOS O&P USA and is projected to cover the net purchased electricity load of all 14 of INEOS O&P USA’s manufacturing, fractionation and storage facilities in the United States.
Located in Bosque County, Texas, the new solar project is expected to produce 730,000 megawatt-hours of clean energy each year, the equivalent of more than 68,000 homes’ annual electricity use. It also is expected to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 320,000 tons per year.
