One of North America’s largest solar farms just came online in Texas

Canadian energy company Enbridge has switched on the first phase of its massive $1.1 billion Sequoia Solar project in Texas.

Once both phases are complete, the Sequoia Solar project will reach 815 megawatts (MW), making it one of the largest solar farms in North America.

Sequoia Solar is in Callahan County, southeast of Dallas. Sequoia Phase One, which is now fully operational, adds 400 MW of solar capacity to the grid. Sequoia Phase Two will add another 415 MW and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The project is part of fossil fuel giant Enbridge’s broader push into renewable energy, as utilities and major corporations continue to lock in long-term clean electricity deals.
