Avangrid Celebrates Completion of Solar Module Production at SEG Solar's New Texas Facility
Over 200,000 solar modules manufactured for Avangrid's 166 MWdc (120 MWac) project in Oregon to support data center operations Milestone marks first utility-scale delivery from SEG Solar's new Houston manufacturing plant and demonstrates Avangrid's support for growing the domestic solar supply chain HOUSTON, July 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced the successful assembly of over 200,000 solar modules manufactured by SEG Solar at its newly commissioned facility in Houston, Texas. These modules will be deployed at Avangrid's 166 MWdc (120 MWac) Tower Solar project in Morrow County, Oregon, which will deliver energy to the Portland General Electric (PGE) power grid and support Meta's data center operations in the region. Avangrid is the first utility-scale customer to receive modules from SEG Solar's new U.S. manufacturing plant, a milestone that underscores both companies' commitment to strengthening the domestic energy supply chain and bolstering American manufacturing. The facility, located in Houston, currently employs more than 300 people and will create over 500 jobs at full capacity. "Domestic partnerships are critical to meeting rising demand, and by leveraging U.S. manufacturing, Avangrid has an opportunity to support local jobs and economic opportunity in states like Texas, while advancing a reliable energy future powered by American-made products," said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. "Our work with SEG Solar demonstrates not only our commitment to building out the domestic supply chain, but the benefits of investing in American energy infrastructure. We are proud to see our Tower Solar project move forward with the delivery of these modules." "We are thrilled to have been selected as the module supplier for the Tower Solar in Morrow County, Oregon. This 166 MW project marks the third successful collaboration between Avangrid and SEG Solar, underscoring the strong relationship between the companies," said Logan Fang, Vice President of Key Accounts. "SEG Solar looks forward to seeing its premium 630Wp high-efficiency Yukon N Series Solar modules installed and operational in the Pacific Northwest." SEG Solar inaugurated its new Houston module plant last summer and began manufacturing modules for Avangrid in early 2025. The 250,000 square foot facility represented a $60 million investment in the U.S. and can achieve annual production of 2 GW. Avangrid's Tower Solar project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2026. The facility will deliver 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 through the development of new clean energy facilities in our region. Subscribers to PGE's GFI program enroll in a bundled renewable energy product and receive the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) associated with the energy generated from the new facility. PGE's subscription pricing is designed to avoid cost shifting to non-participating customers. Construction of Tower Solar will create over 200 jobs, mostly sourced locally. The project is expected to pay about $20 million in combined PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) and property taxes which will support a variety of public services, especially schools.

Energy transitions must be just, sovereign and inclusive
Waldo Swiegers/Bloomberg via Getty Images News Ramokgopa pushes inclusive, sovereign energy transition at G20 meeting. Calls for finance reform, pragmatic tech mix, universal energy access. Notes Eskom's improving performance amid domestic energy stability efforts. Electricity and energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has called for a pragmatic, inclusive and sovereign approach to the global energy transition, telling G20 counterparts that Africa's development and energy needs cannot be sidelined in the pursuit of climate goals. Addressing delegates at the third G20 Energy Transitions Working Group meeting on Wednesday, held at Sun City in the North West, Ramokgopa said the global move to a low-carbon economy must be guided by justice, inclusion, and the right of countries to determine their own energy pathways. The transition is not only about technology. It must be about solidarity. About sovereignty. About ensuring access and opportunity. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa Ramokgopa emphasised that while renewable technologies such as solar, wind, and battery storage are crucial, they alone will not address the complex energy challenges many countries face. He urged for a 'technology-inclusive' approach that includes carbon capture, long-duration storage, and small modular nuclear reactors. 'African countries, and others with legacy baseload infrastructure and constrained grids, require flexibility. Renewables must be part of a broader strategy, not the only strategy,' he said. FINANCIAL BARRIERS Ramokgopa made a strong appeal for reforming global energy finance structures, describing current models as exclusionary and insufficient for the scale of investment needed. He noted that while political commitments to climate finance have been made, delivery remains patchy. 'We must move from pledges to execution. Finance must be a tool of inclusion, not a barrier to participation,' he said, calling for concessional and blended finance to support early-stage and localised projects, and for mechanisms to de-risk investments in high-impact but underserved areas. He argued that energy investment must also support small and medium enterprises, particularly in emerging markets, as part of building resilience and enabling economic participation. The minister's remarks follow a recent announcement by the African Development Bank (AfDB), which on 1 July approved a $474.6 million loan to South Africa for its Infrastructure Governance and Green Growth Programme. The programme is the second phase of the AfDB's support for South Africa's Just Energy Transition and aims to enhance energy security, support green industrialisation and reform the transport sector. The minister warned that structural energy poverty continues to block development across the Global South. 'Over 760 million people globally still live without electricity. More than 2.6 billion rely on unsafe fuels for cooking. These are not statistics – they are mothers, children, workers,' he said, urging the G20 to act decisively to implement Sustainable Development Goal 7. Ramokgopa welcomed past G20 efforts on clean cooking and called for further commitments, particularly in support of scalable solutions for Africa. AFRICA'S ENERGY STORY IS NOT ONE OF DEFICIT Referencing Africa's abundant resources, young population, and industrial ambitions, Ramokgopa pushed back against the notion that the continent is lagging behind. Africa is not a deficit story. It is a story of resilience and ambition. What we lack is access to affordable and patient capital Ramokgopa He urged support for the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the Africa Energy Efficiency Strategy, warning that declarations without delivery would only widen inequality. The minister reiterated South Africa's position that each country must determine its own energy trajectory, based on national priorities, energy mix, and existing infrastructure. 'There is no single model. No uniform pace. No imposed prescription,' he said, stressing the principle of energy sovereignty. ESKOM GAINS Outside of G20 discussions, Ramokgopa also noted progress at home in stabilising South Africa's electricity supply. On Tuesday, he congratulated Eskom for achieving significant improvements in its Energy Availability Factor (EAF), a key metric of power station performance. 'Eight of the fourteen power stations are registering EAFs of 70% and higher, including one performing at 91.1%. This is a remarkable improvement from the average low of 48% in early 2023,' he said. Eskom confirmed the figures in a statement, attributing the gains to a steady drop in unplanned outages and consistent implementation of its generation recovery plan. The EAF has now reached 71%, excluding additional support from Kusile Unit 6, which has not yet entered commercial operation. Ramokgopa said the focus now shifts to resolving load reduction measures and stabilising the cost of electricity. 'I do understand the urgency. Announcements will follow soon,' he said.
