Entergy signs 150 MW PPA for solar PV project in Texas

Entergy Texas has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Longroad Energy to purchase all the energy generated by the 150 MWac (202 MWdc) Umbriel solar project in Texas, USA.

The solar farm produces sufficient power for over 30,000 homes in Texas. The output of the project is expected to be the equivalent of avoiding 250,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions every year, which is equal to taking 55,000 cars off the road annually.

The project will be built by McCarthy Building Companies and is scheduled to commence commercial operations by the end of this year. The energy generated by the project will provide a cleaner source of power to Entergy Texas, helping it achieve its sustainability goals.
