(NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, and Portland General Electric (PGE) (NYSE: POR), are announcing the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for Tower Solar, a new 120 MWac (166 MWdc) solar energy project now under construction in Morrow County, Oregon, in collaboration with QTS and Meta. The facility will deliver clean, renewable energy to Portland General Electric\u2019s grid through Green Future Impact (GFI), a voluntary program designed to help large commercial, industrial, and municipal customers meet their ambitious sustainability and carbon reduction goals through the development of new clean energy facilities in our region.<\/p>\n<p>\nSubscribers to PGE\u2019s GFI program enroll in a bundled renewable energy product and receive the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) associated with the energy generated from the new facility. PGE\u2019s subscription pricing is designed to avoid cost shifting to non-participating customers.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder PGE\u2019s GFI program, QTS, a leading data center solutions provider, is developing a data center campus to support Meta\u2019s operations in the region that will be supported by renewable energy from Tower Solar, helping to meet Meta\u2019s sustainability and 100% renewable energy goals.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are pleased to work closely with some of our largest customers to develop another utility-scale solar project in Oregon, the home-base for Avangrid\u2019s onshore renewable energy business,\u201d said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. \u201cProjects like this are important to furthering the country\u2019s energy independence, and represent our continued investment in the region with new jobs and tax revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe Green Future Impact program allows PGE to partner with our largest customers like QTS to meet their ambitious sustainability goals through local clean energy,\u201d said Brett Greene, PGE Senior Director Clean Energy Origination and Structuring. \u201cThrough GFI, our largest customers can fund the development of the renewable resources they need, while supporting green jobs and revenue for Oregon communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis innovative project highlights QTS&#8217;s commitment to procuring sustainable energy solutions that help alleviate data center power generation needs and support our customers\u2019 goals,\u201d said Tag Greason, QTS Chief Growth Officer. \u201cWe are pleased to partner with Avangrid and PGE to bolster these sustainability initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nTower Solar will be located just west of Boardman and located on about 900 acres of industrially zoned land owned by the Port of Morrow near the Boardman Airport. The project will utilize more than 200,000 solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the peak of construction, Avangrid expects Tower Solar to create more than 200 jobs, the vast majority of which will be sourced from the region. Tower Solar is expected to pay about $20 million in combined PILOTs (payment in lieu of taxes) and property taxes which will support a variety of public services, including education.<\/p>\n<p>\nAvangrid is the leading supplier of renewable energy to PGE\u2019s Green Future Impact program, including <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.avangrid.com%2Fw%2Favangrid-s-pachw%25C3%25A1ywit-fields-achieves-commercial-operation&amp;esheet=54160364&amp;newsitemid=20241202381796&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=from&amp;index=1&amp;md5=024da053673046589585ddedb96a9521\">from <\/a><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.avangrid.com%2Fw%2Favangrid-s-pachw%25C3%25A1ywit-fields-achieves-commercial-operation&amp;esheet=54160364&amp;newsitemid=20241202381796&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Pachw%26aacute%3Bywit+Fields&amp;index=2&amp;md5=a49f95afcae0b99ff5fbb144a4f1bc20\">Pachw\u00e1ywit Fields<\/a>, Oregon\u2019s largest operating solar facility, and the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.avangrid.com%2Fw%2Fcustomer-participation-in-pge-s-green-future-impact-program-catalyzes-new-renewable-energy-facility&amp;esheet=54160364&amp;newsitemid=20241202381796&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Daybreak&amp;index=3&amp;md5=a806c119b394b64d12dbffd61cd2e139\">Daybreak<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intel.com%2Fcontent%2Fwww%2Fus%2Fen%2Fnewsroom%2Farticle%2Fhelping-power-oregon-solar-future.html&amp;esheet=54160364&amp;newsitemid=20241202381796&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Bakeoven&amp;index=4&amp;md5=e201831b455b6d03e720fc72d451b6f6\">Bakeoven<\/a> solar farms which are currently under construction.
