Invenergy announced that commercial operations has commenced at the 300-MW Delilah I Solar Energy Center in Lamar and Red River Counties, Texas. WEC Energy Group is the majority owner of Delilah I.
The energy generated from Delilah I Solar will be purchased by Honda Motor Co. (200 MW) and Tesla (100 MW) through virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) and be delivered to the local grid.
“Landowners and the larger local community were instrumental in Invenergy’s ability to reach commercial operations at Delilah I, create good jobs for Texans, and partner with WEC and automotive giants like Honda and Tesla to add more American energy to the grid,” said Bristi Cure, senior VP of renewable development for Invenergy. “As the demand for electricity grows, Invenergy values every opportunity to support our customers’ operations with affordable, reliable, clean energy solutions that also generate meaningful economic impact for Americans across our project communities.”
