Enel North America, a clean energy company, has started operating a solar+energy storage plant in Delta County, Texas, Estonia. The 202 MW solar photovoltaic facility is paired with a 104 MW battery energy storage system.

Stephen Pike, North American Head of Enel Green Power, stated, "With this new project, Enel will continue to provide new clean energy and flexible storage to meet the growing demand. Enel's renewable energy projects have created real value for commercial and industrial companies on the decarbonization path. The Estonia project demonstrates that the private sector will continue to lead the energy transition in the United States

Estonia Solar has received support from a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with workplace developer BXP, which includes 21 megawatts of partial electricity. In addition, the project has also received PPA support from fashion luxury goods holding group Capri Holdings Limited, which is the parent company of Versace, Jimmy Choo, and Michael Kors.

Ben Myers, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at BXP, said, "The milestone in Estonia's commercial operations marks an important moment in BXP's renewable energy journey. Through our partnership with Enel, we will support the acceleration of energy transition by adding additional large-scale clean energy capacity

The Estonian solar project is expected to generate approximately 499 gigawatt hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to the electricity demand of over 46000 American households. The construction of the power plant has created approximately 400 construction jobs, as well as multiple new permanent local positions for operation and maintenance.

It is expected that this hybrid project will generate over $23 million in new local tax revenue for schools and public services throughout its entire lifecycle. Enel has approximately 5 GW of wind and solar installation capacity and 1.3 GW of battery storage installation capacity, providing support for the ERCOT grid. Enel also manages approximately 200 MW of demand response capacity in Texas.
