Acciona Energía Completes 458 MW Solar Plant in Texas, Boosting Clean Energy and Job Creation Efforts.

Acciona Energía, a Spanish renewable energy company, has completed the 458 MW Red-Tailed Hawk solar plant near Houston, Texas. The project, acquired by Acciona in 2022 from Avondale Solar and Solar Plus Development, is expected to generate clean energy equivalent to the consumption of 66,500 homes per year and avoid the emission of 430,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. The facility will create approximately 400 jobs during its construction phase and sustain up to 15 permanent positions. It is Acciona’s fifth investment in Texas, joining the Fort Bend Solar Farm and three operational wind farms in Cameron County. The company’s existing portfolio of renewable energy projects in North America now stands at 2.7 GW.
