- 825 MW Pinnington solar project reached commercial operation, commissioned 2.5x faster than comparable megaprojects.
- Developed by Repsol and engineered/built by Black & Veatch with Overland Contracting (OCI).
- Construction supported ~700 local jobs and installed 1.5 million panels, avoiding ~1 million tons of CO2 annually.
- Repsol's US renewables capacity now exceeds 2 GW, including Frye (632 MW), Outpost (629 MW) and Pecan Prairie (595 MW) under construction.
Commercial operation
Repsol's 825 MW Pinnington solar project in Texas has entered commercial operation, becoming the largest single renewable project to reach commercial operation in ERCOT and completing commissioning 2.5 times faster than comparable megaprojects.
Construction and local impact
Engineered and built by Black & Veatch with Overland Contracting (OCI), construction supported about 700 local construction jobs and installed roughly 1.5 million solar panels; the project is expected to generate ongoing tax revenue for nearby communities.
Technical and environmental effects
Pinnington will supply significant new capacity to the Texas grid, improving reliability and diversification, and is projected to avoid approximately 1 million tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Portfolio context
With Pinnington online, Repsol's US renewables capacity exceeds 2 GW; its Texas assets include Frye (632 MW), Outpost (629 MW) and Pecan Prairie (595 MW) under construction, and in New Mexico it operates the Jicarilla I and II solar and battery storage complex.
