EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA) has completed the 180-megawatt Azalea Springs Solar Project in Angelina County, Texas. The Azalea Springs Solar Project will generate enough electricity annually to power over 27,800 average Texas households.

"The Azalea Springs Solar project demonstrates the powerful role that energy infrastructure can play in building stronger, more resilient communities," said Sandhya Ganapathy, CEO of EDPR NA. "This project serves as a model for clean energy applications—it not only provides reliable residential power to the Texas grid but also drives economic growth in Angelina County and the broader region. We are deeply proud that the Azalea Springs Solar project will generate long-term revenue for essential public services, foster local economic development, and deliver lasting benefits to Texas.". ”

The Azalea Springs Solar Project has contributed over $75 million to the local and statewide economy, including $35 million in revenue for local governments to support schools, roads, and essential community services, with the remaining funds allocated for regional expenditures. The construction of the Azalea Springs Solar Project created 250 construction jobs for the local area. Additionally, EDPR NA has made donations to the Central Independent School District.

"The collaboration with EDP, the Azalea Springs Solar Project, and Central ISD holds extraordinary significance for our school district," said Justin Risner, Director of Central ISD. "EDP is eager to serve students and meet their needs, far exceeding our expectations. Their team has repeatedly reached out to us and provided resources to help our students and district improve. The impact of EDP Renewables on Central ISD will be profound, benefiting not only our district but also our entire board. Central ISD deeply appreciates EDP's support and generosity and looks forward to establishing a long-term partnership between both parties.". ”

With the commissioning of the Azalea Springs Solar Project, EDPR NA operates six utility-scale energy projects across the state, with a total installed capacity exceeding 1.6 gigawatts. In addition to the Azalea Springs Solar Project, these six utility-scale projects include the 386-megawatt Lone Star Wind Farm, the 300-megawatt Los Mirasoles Wind Farm, the 209-megawatt Reloj Del Sol Wind Farm, the 175-megawatt Wildcat Creek Wind Farm, and the 390-megawatt Cattlemen Solar Park.
