Iberdrola, through its subsidiary in the United States, Avangrid , and Portland General Electric (PGE) have signed a power purchase agreement ( PPA ) for the 120 MWac Tower Solar project, which the US subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group is building in Morrow County, in collaboration with QTS and Meta .
The facility, which will create more than 200 jobs , will be Avangrid’s sixth solar facility in Oregon upon completion in 2026 and its 17th power generation project in the state, where the company currently operates 1,600 MW of wind and solar projects.
The facility will supply clean, renewable energy to PGE’s grid through Green Future Impact (GFI), a voluntary program designed to help large commercial, industrial and municipal customers meet their ambitious sustainability and carbon reduction goals by developing new clean energy facilities in the region. Subscribers to this program enroll in a package of clean energy products and receive Renewable Energy Certificates associated with the green electricity generated by the new facility.
As part of this program, leading data center solutions provider QTS is developing a campus to support Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, operations in the region. This hub will be powered by clean energy from Tower Solar, thus contributing to Meta's sustainability and 100% renewable energy goals .
