RWE Clean Energy has commissioned the Stoneridge Solar PV project in Texas, adding 200MW of solar PV and 100MW/200MWh BESS to its operational portfolio.

The company is the US arm of German power firm RWE, and completed work at the project in Milam County late last month. This is in line with a timeline proposed by RWE CEO Markus Krebber, who visited the site earlier this year, and announce that construction at the Stoneridge Solar project would be completed by the end of 2025.

The commissioning brings the company’s operational renewable energy capacity in the state, where ERCOT runs the grid, to above 4.8GW and the company’s Texas portfolio now accounts for close to half of its 11GW of energy generation capacity in operation in the US.

According to Krebber, the company has a pipeline of 4GW of renewable energy generation capacity currently under construction in the US.
