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.
