Hecate Energy secures 250-MW Texas solar supply deal with Google

As part of Google LLC's commitment to cover its entire global electricity consumption with renewable energy, the Silicon Valley tech giant together with developer Hecate Energy on Oct. 1 announced an agreement under which Google will purchase 250 MW of solar power from an unnamed project that Hecate is developing in Texas.

Google's contract is part of a package of renewable energy power purchase agreements the Alphabet Inc. subsidiary disclosed Sept. 19, totaling 1,600 MW across 18 separate deals.

Hecate, which expects to invest $275 million in the project, did not respond to a request for details about the project. The company has two 500-MW solar farms under development in Texas, the Ramsey Solar Project (Hera Solar) and the Point Mountain Solar project, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data.

"Sustainability has been one of Google's core values from our earliest days, and a cornerstone of our related efforts is our commitment to clean energy," Neha Palmer, director of operations at Google, said in a news release.

Previously Google CEO Sundar Pichai touted the suite of contracts as "the biggest corporate purchase of renewable energy in history."
