March 04, 2023. By News Bureau

AVANGRID, Inc., member of the Iberdrola Group, has announced it will take a new step in its key partnership with the intent to deploy more than $30 million in solar trackers from Array Technologies (ATI).

The equipment will be used to construct AVANGRID’s 321 MW True North solar farm in Falls County, Texas, one of the company’s biggest solar facilities under development in the U.S., and will include safe harbor inventory and newly purchased trackers.

“With this collaboration with ATI, we reaffirm our ongoing commitment to New Mexico, supporting local jobs and expanding our clean energy vision,” said Ignacio Galan, Chairman of AVANGRID. “Partnering with renewable energy companies like ATI will allow us to support the green workforce industry while we continue to provide reliable and affordable energy to homes and businesses throughout the U.S.”

With the purchase of solar trackers from Array Technologies and with the development of projects like the True North solar farm, AVANGRID has further expanded the presence of clean energy in Texas, where it already generates more than 1,250 MW through six wind farms and has a 1,300 MW pipeline of projects.

“Array is honored to supply our industry leading DuraTrack solar trackers to AVANGRID for the True North solar farm,” said Kevin Hostettler, Chief Executive Officer at Array Technologies. “Our durable and low maintenance trackers will help provide clean renewable energy for the Texas grid, ensuring the local community has reliable power for years to come.”
