Solar Plus Development, Inc. ("Plus"), a subsidiary of Plus Renewable Technologies, Limited, and Avondale Solar, LLC ("Avondale") have entered into an agreement with J-POWER USA Development Co., Ltd. ("J-POWER USA") to jointly develop a 350 MWac solar PV project in Wharton County, Texas ("Red-Tailed Hawk Solar") that they have been developing via their equally owned joint venture company, AP Solar Holdings, LLC ("AP Solar")
Red-Tailed Hawk Solar is expected to break ground in the second half of 2020 and be operational by the summer of 2022.
"Due to its close proximity to the Houston metro area, the Red-Tailed Hawk Solar is expected to experience minimal curtailment and basis risk to the premium Houston Zone of ERCOT," the companies said
This will be J-POWER USA's first renewable project in the U.S.
J-POWER USA and its affiliate companies now have interests in 12 U.S. power generating facilities, totaling approximately 6,500 MW
