Westbridge Renewable completes full interconnection study at its 221MWp Texas solar project
In Canada, Westbridge Renewable Energy Corporation announced the completion of full interconnection studies for its wholly-owned Accalia Point solar project located in Cameron County, Texas.
The company said it is currently working towards negotiation of an interconnection agreement with Sharyland Utilities, a Texas-based electric transmission utility, to advance the project towards its construction phase.
Stefano Romanin, CEO and Director of Westbridge Renewable, said: “The timely completion of the Accalia Point solar project’s interconnection and environmental studies represents a significant step forward in de-risking and advancing our first U.S. project toward commercialization. With the U.S. setting ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing renewable energy generation, and securing local energy production, solar energy developments are now recognized as indispensable.
The Accalia Point project includes long-term solar leases covering approximately 1,120 acres of primarily cultivated farmland with an installed capacity of 221MWp.
