X-ELIO held groundbreaking ceremony for two projects in Texas
In Texas, X-ELIO, a global renewable energy developer, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its 72 MW Liberty Solar Plant and 60 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project, located in both Liberty and Harris Counties, Texas. X-ELIO’s Liberty 1 Solar Plant is expected to be operational by early 2024 and will generate 137 GWh of clean energy per year, while creating more than 125 construction jobs. The BESS project, co-located with the solar plant, is the company’s largest industrial battery project to-date and its first in the US. X-ELIO said it will invest a total of $136.7 million in the combined projects. “We are delighted to be here today with BASF and other local stakeholders as we break ground on the Liberty 1 Solar and BESS project,” said Kerri Neary, X-ELIO Country Manager for the US. “It is a major step forward for our business strategy and an important milestone for the energy mix in Texas, a key strategic market for X-ELIO where we will continue to grow our pipeline.”
