Lightsource BP has completed construction and grid-connected its 260MW Impact solar farm near Dallas in the US state of Texas.
The project represents an investment of $250m, with 320 workers on site during construction of which 84% were local hires, the company said.
BP senior vice president, gas & power trading Americas Orlando Alvarez said: “The Impact solar project in Texas is one of the many ways we are turning our net zero ambition into action.
“This is a great example of how we are increasing our low carbon investment while leveraging bp’s expertise in the energy markets by trading the electricity generated from the project.”
