Candela Renewables announced an agreement with Google for a 140-MW power purchase agreement in Texas, bringing new green energy to the ERCOT power grid. As part of the agreement, Candela will develop a new solar power project, boosting the local economy as a result of the investment and creating new construction and permanent full-time jobs.
This agreement is a part of Google’s biggest renewable energy purchase ever, announced by the company in September 2019, which is also the largest-ever corporate purchase of renewable power — overall, a 1,600 MW package that will comprise 18 new energy deals, of which Candela’s PPA is a part.
