Texas is set to become home to another solar plant after Ineos Olefins & Polymers said Dec. 13 it signed a renewable power purchase agreement with NextEra Energy Resources, paving the way for the new 310-megawatt project.
Located in Bosque County, northwest of Waco, the Ineos Hickerson Solar Farm will be constructed, owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, Ineos said in a news release.
Construction is set to begin in first-quarter 2024 with commercial operations starting by December 2025.
“INEOS O&P USA seeks to be a bellwether of what the petrochemical community can do to adopt renewable energy among its long-term energy demands, and this is one of many important steps being taken globally to reduce the carbon footprint of all the INEOS businesses,” Ineos O&P CEO Mike Nagle said.
The facility is expected to produce 730,000 megawatt hours of clean energy per year with all of its output going to Ineos, according to the release.
