Vistra announced that its Emerald Grove Solar Facility in Crane County, Texas, is online and generating electricity for summer.

The 108-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) project is the third of seven new renewable and energy storage projects Vistra is bringing online across Texas over the next few years

Vistra said that "Vistra Zero" projects completed and online in spring 2022 include:

• Brightside Solar Facility, Live Oak County, TX – 50 MW

• DeCordova Energy Storage Facility, Hood County, TX – 260 MW/260 MWh

• Emerald Grove Solar Facility, Crane County, TX – 108 MW

Together with its existing emission-free generation assets, including the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, these projects bring the company's zero-carbon Vistra Zero portfolio to nearly 3,300 MW online, with plans to grow to more than 7,300 MW by 2026.

"With our Emerald Grove Solar Facility now online, Vistra has taken another important step in transitioning our fleet to cleaner electric generation," said Curt Morgan, CEO of Vistra. "In the two years since announcing a nearly $1 billion capital investment within ERCOT, our teams have executed with precision despite the challenges that exist today. We've shown that we can deliver the green energy alternatives many retail customers are looking for while providing affordable and reliable electricity to the growing Texas population."
