Profile
- Grid role
- Utility-scale solar generation in ERCOT's energy-only market.
- Physical build
- PUC / REC filings and the Texas Comptroller CH‑313 application list the facility as a utility‑scale solar PV site (PUC registration records list Manufacturer = Jinko Solar, NEXTracker, KACO and a total rated nameplate capacity ~157.5 MW). Ormat announced acquisition of a shovel‑ready co‑located BESS and states it will design, build, own and operate a 25 MW BESS at the site. those unit counts are therefore unknown in the cited public filings.
