Solar Proponent Reaches $10 Million Interconnection Agreement Milestone

AUSTIN, Texas – December 15, 2021 – Solar Proponent LLC (“SolarPro”), a utility-scale solar-plus-storage (“Solar+Storage”) developer based in Austin and focused on the ERCOT market, is pleased to announce it has made significant advances in its 6 GW Solar+Storage development portfolio, with the aim of enabling several large plants to be fully operational by late 2023 to early 2024.

In October, SolarPro signed an interconnection agreement and posted $10 million security on the 345 KV portion of its Lunis Creek Solar Project in Jackson County. When expansion is complete and combined with its adjacent 138 KV project, the facility is expected to produce approximately 1 GWdc of energy.

Chief Development Officer Jeff Sabins added, “By reaching this interconnection agreement milestone we have secured 480 MWac of capacity on the South Texas Project – Angstrom 345 KV transmission line and are in process of increasing this to 600 MWac.”
