Avangrid hits major milestone in renewable energy generation
Sustainable energy company Avangrid hit a milestone recently, reaching a capacity of 8.6 GW through its more than 70 wind and solar facilities in operation across the country.
The renewable energy the company generates is enough to power over 2.8 million homes.
“Our capacity milestone is a significant achievement for Avangrid, as it demonstrates our unwavering dedication to accelerating the energy transition in the U.S.” Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO, said. “As the third largest renewable energy operator in the country, we are proud to play an important role in delivering clean, renewable power to our clients, while also fostering economic development and bringing important benefits to the communities in which we are present.”
Avangrid has a portfolio of 75 wind and solar facilities in the United States across 24 states.
Avangrid is launching a social media campaign to celebrate the achievement. Through the campaign, it will highlight its investments and presence in each of the states in which the company is present. Specifically, it will focus on the number of solar and wind projects, the total operating capacity, and the economic benefits in each state. It will also tie in each state’s energy goals as well as feature unique facts about certain projects.
Avangrid is a subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group.
