(CercleFinance.com) – TotalEnergies announces that it has commissioned Myrtle Solar, a giant power plant located south of Houston (Texas), with a solar production capacity of 380 megawatts peak (MWp) associated with 225 MWh of co-located batteries.
With 705,000 ground photovoltaic panels installed on an area equivalent to 1,200 football fields, Myrtle has the capacity to produce enough green electricity to cover the equivalent of the consumption of 70,000 homes.
The Myrtle project, which benefits from the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) tax credit mechanisms, will contribute positively to the achievement of the 12% profitability objective of TotalEnergies’ Integrated Power sector.
