Avangrid announces Camino Solar, its first photovoltaic project in California

Avangrid announced that it will build the Camino Solar project, its first solar project in California, a state in which the company currently operates more than 500 MW through six wind energy facilities. To be constructed by Cupertino Electric, Inc. in Kern County, the project is adjacent to Avangrid’s 189 MW Manzana Wind farm and will employ more than 100 people during construction. The project is expected to be commercially operational in 2025 and will generate roughly $15.5M in local taxes during its lifetime.
