174 Power signs PPA with Gerdau for solar project in Texas
174 Power Global, a unit of Hanwha Group, has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gerdau Long Steel North America (Gerdau), for the energy produced in a solar facility in Texas.
The 80-megawatt Gerdau Solar project, located adjacent to the Gerdau Midlothian Steel Mill in Midlothian, Texas, will be comprised of more than 231,000 solar panels, spanning more than 700 acres. The BTM system will provide power directly to the Midlothian steel mill, creating cost and energy consumption benefits.
The Gerdau Solar project plans to utilize Gerdau’s industry-leading solar beam pilings, offset the emissions of more than 13,000 average Texas households.
The construction on the Gerdau Solar facility is expected to commence by the end of 2020 and be completed at the end of 2021.
