Enel begins operating solar project in Texas
In Massachusetts, Enel North America¹ and Polaris announced the start of operations of Enel’s Fence Post solar + storage project in Texas. The project is supported by a 12-year VPPA with Polaris, under which the latter will purchase the electricity and associated renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated by a 22 MW portion of Fence Post Solar, matching approximately 40% of Polaris’ U.S. electrical use. “Partnering with Enel on this project supports Polaris’s goal of adding renewable electricity to its energy portfolio and reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Deborah Briggs, vice president, Employee Health, Safety, Security and Facilities at Polaris. “This project supports our ongoing efforts to source electricity from renewable resources and will help Polaris deliver on our commitment towards a more sustainable future.” Fence Post, located in Navarro County, Texas, is a 297 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project paired with an 86 MW storage system. The solar project began operations in December of 2023, while the battery storage system is complete and undergoing final commissioning, Enel said.
