Avangrid starts power production from True North Solar project

Avangrid, Inc., a US–based sustainable energy company within the Iberdrola Group, has initiated power production at the True North solar project in Falls County, Texas. The company has currently commissioned 20 MW, with the project expected to reach 238 MWac (321 MWdc) and become Avangrid’s first solar installation.
