Excerpts from a conversation with Jason Dieterich, a landowner on Avangrid’s True North Solar project in Falls County, Texas. What is it like working with Avangrid? “Avangrid altogether was a great company to deal with. It is great when you have someone locally from the state coming to talk to you and telling you the plans. I don’t know what it is about Texas, but you can really trust the people that are here, and you can really trust when you have someone local working with

Avangrid continues to make progress on major energy projects from the west coast to Ohio. These projects, all solar facilities, will add new energy capacity onto local electrical grids to support quickly growing demand for energy across the country. Camino Avangrid recently announced that it began to export power onto the California grid from its Camino solar project in Kern County, California. This marks a major milestone for the 44 MWac (57 MWdc) project ahead of commercial operation expected later this spring. Camino will deliver reliable

Avangrid is privileged to partner with thousands of landowners from across the country. They all have unique stories to tell. Here is a message from Dave Whitmore, a landowner on multiple Avangrid projects in Washington state. Hello, my name is Dave Whitmore.

We are proud to share that True North Solar has achieved commercial operation. As Avangrid’s largest solar project to date, the 238 MWac (321 MWdc) facility plays a dual role in responsibly powering U.S. data centers to ensure grid reliability and cement Texas’ position as a leader in American energy production. True North is delivering electricity to the Texas grid and supporting Meta’s operations, including its upcoming data center in neighboring Temple, its second data center facility in Texas. According to a recent report from

Avangrid continues to drive progress at multiple clean energy projects under construction, and it is nearly complete with what will become its largest solar project.

This August, project crews finished installing over 488,000 solar panels at the site. “This is a major accomplishment and we are proud of the hardworking women and men who are bringing this clean energy

Avangrid Renewables implements a Wildlife Protection Program, comprising a range of activities focused on managing and reducing risk to wildlife and renewable energy facility operations. One area of focus is reducing the occurrence of potential attractants within a facility footprint. Avian and other scavengers hone in quickly on available food sources on the landscape, including garbage, hunting remains, livestock carcasses, and wild animal remains. While we love to see wildlife in and around our facilities, visible attractants in proximity to turbines presents risk to

This spring, Avangrid began construction at the Camino Solar Project in Kern County, California. Camino Solar is Avangrid’s first photovoltaic project in California with a capacity of 57 MW (44 MWac). “It is always exciting to see another important renewable energy project break ground,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “With this major milestone, we are one step closer to delivering clean solar energy in California to go along with our six wind energy facilities in the state. This is yet another example of our commitment
