Enel, through its US renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, has started construction of the 284 MW Azure Sky solar + storage project in Texas, its second hybrid project in North America that integrates a renewable energy plant with utility-scale battery storage

The Home Depot will procure the electricity generated from a 75 MW portion of the Azure Sky solar project through a power purchase agreement (PPA). The energy The Home Depot will procure annually from the Azure Sky solar project is enough to power more than 150 Home Depot stores.

Located west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Haskell County, Texas, the Azure Sky solar + storage project comprises a 284 MW photovoltaic (PV) facility paired with an 81 MW battery and is expected to be operational by summer 2021.

Azure Sky solar + storage’s nearly 700,000 PV bifacial panels are expected to generate over 586 GWh each year, which will be delivered to the grid and will charge the battery located in the same facility

Enel Green Power is pursuing an active growth strategy in the US and Canada and, as part of the Enel Group’s three-year strategic plan, is expected to install around 1 GW of new utility-scale wind and solar projects per year across the two countries.
