Adapture Renewables, a prominent developer and operator in utility-scale solar and energy storage projects, has announced the signing of an energy off-take agreement with a confidential Fortune 50 company. The agreement pertains to a 67 MWp utility-scale solar facility located in Hunt County, Texas, with commercial operations scheduled to commence later in 2024. This initiative aligns with the Fortune 50 company’s commitment to achieving net-zero targets by powering its operations with renewable energy.
