RWE, Constellation to supply major commercial customers with solar energy from Big Star facility in Bastrop County
RWE Renewables has partnered with Constellation to realize a 200 megawatt (MW) solar facility coupled with an 80 MW/120 MWh battery storage system in Bastrop County, Texas. Constellation will purchase power and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to a 140 MW section of the total 200 MW capacity of RWE’s Big Star solar project.
Separately, Constellation has equivalent long-term agreements in place to help power the Texas operations of PepsiCo, McCormick & Company, Best Buy and ViacomCBS’ KTVT and KTXA TV stations with clean, renewable energy from the project. These major commercial customers will receive energy and RECs from the Big Star project as part of their retail electric supply contract with Constellation.
The facility is currently under development and is expected to reach commercial operation in the second quarter of 2022.
