Guajillo battery plant will be key in Texas
Strategically located next to the Corazón Solar Farm, also operated by Plenitude, Guajillo maximizes operational synergies over an area of approximately 800 hectares. The plant is scheduled to begin commercial operations in mid-2025 , consolidating the company’s presence in the dynamic US renewable energy market.
The Guajillo plant ensures efficient energy storage and also contributes to stabilizing the electrical grid of a region that is experiencing a boom in renewable generation. According to Patrick Monino, director of Plenitude Renewables North America, lithium-ion batteries are transforming the ability to integrate clean energy into electrical systems, allowing for greater penetration of renewable sources.
Plenitude, present in more than 15 countries, is advancing towards its goal of reaching 8 GW of installed renewable capacity by 2027. It currently has 1.5 GW in operation in the United States alone , in addition to a network of almost 22,000 charging points for electric vehicles in Europe.
