Iberdrola Brings 269 MW of Solar Capacity Online in Oregon

Iberdrola, through its U.S. subsidiary Avangrid, has commissioned two new solar power plants — Daybreak Solar and Bakeoven Solar — in Wasco County, Oregon, which are now supplying electricity to the Portland General Electric (PGE) utility grid to support local energy demand and commercial customers. The facilities — Daybreak Solar, with 189 MWdc, and Bakeoven Solar, with 80 MWdc — together add 269 MWdc of new locally generated capacity at a time of growing electricity demand across the country. 

In the U.S., Iberdrola supplies power to nearly 10 million residents through its grid networks in New York, Maine, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, and runs 80 generating plants totaling close to 11,000 MW of capacity.
