AVANGRID, Inc. announced it will take a new step in its key partnership with the intent to deploy more than $30 million in solar trackers from Array Technologies. The equipment will be used to construct AVANGRID's 321 MW True North solar farm in Falls County, Texas, one of the company's biggest solar facilities under development in the U.S., and will include safe harbor inventory and newly purchased trackers. Array Technologies is a long-standing supplier of AVANGRID and the Iberdrola Group, and this purchase is an additional step in a partnership that is expected to continue to grow, as AVANGRID expands its position as a leading sustainable energy company in the U.S. This agreement was vital to the final investment decision for the construction of the True North solar farm in Falls County, Texas, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and will deliver 321 MW of clean, renewable energy to the state.

Solar trackers are a key component of the construction of solar array farms, as they allow for the movement of the panel to adjust to the exact location of the sun to optimize the absorption of solar energy. With the purchase of solar trackers from Array Technologies and with the development of projects like the True North solar farm, AVANGRID has further expanded the presence of clean energy in Texas, where it already generates more than 1,250 MW through six wind farms and has a 1,300 MW pipeline of projects. Texas is one of the 24 states across the U.S. in which AVANGRID has onshore solar and wind generation facilities, delivering almost 8.5 GW of clean and renewable energy to the country, enough to power approximately 2.8 million homes.
