INEOS launches new solar project

INEOS, in collaboration with NextEra Energy Resources, has commenced construction on the 310 MW Hickerson solar project in Texas. This solar facility will supply electricity to all 14 of INEOS O&P USA’s manufacturing sites, producing 730,000 MWh of clean energy annually. This output equates to the annual energy use of over 68,000 homes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 310,000 tons annually. As per the company, this step follows a PPA with NextEra Energy Resources. The INEOS Hickerson Solar project will be constructed, owned, and operated by a NextEra subsidiary. The commercial operation is scheduled to begin by December 2025.
