Ørsted has taken a final investment decision on the Old 300 Solar Center, which is located in Fort Bend County, 40 miles from Houston, Texas, and is expected to come online in the second quarter of 2022.
The project will create a dependable income source for family ranchers who lease their land for the project. Furthermore, project construction will create up to 400 jobs at its peak and the long-term operation of Old 300 Solar will generate over US$40 million in property tax revenue for Fort Bend County and the Needville Independent School District.
