Construction completed for 518 MW Energy Center in USA
Ørsted announced the completion of Helena Energy Center, a 518 MW combined wind and solar project located in Bee County, South Texas, USA.
The Helena Energy Center consists of the 268 MW wind farm Helena Wind and the 250 MW AC solar farm. The project comprising 66 wind turbines and over 600,000 solar panels is now fully operational and will generate enough renewable energy to power over 110,000 Texan homes and businesses annually.
David Hardy, Executive Vice President and CEO of Region Americas at Ørsted, said: “Helena Energy Center is unique in that it’s Ørsted’s first co-located wind and solar project. Taking advantage of the Gulf of Mexico’s strong coastal winds and abundant sunshine, this project will offer reliable energy to Texas’ grid and economic opportunity for the local community."
The Construction of the Helena Energy Center created approximately 500 construction jobs and will create operations and maintenance jobs for decades.
