Avangrid Surpasses 9 GW of Installed Capacity in Onshore Wind and Solar, Marking a Major Milestone in U.S. Renewable Energy

Avangrid, Inc. has surpassed 9 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity at its onshore wind and solar sites this summer. Avangrid’s onshore wind and solar portfolio spans over 75 projects across 22 states, with more than 8 GW of installed wind capacity and approximately 1 GW of installed solar capacity, including projects currently under construction. The progress made at several Avangrid projects this summer enabled the company to achieve this 9 GW milestone.

“I am proud of the continued progress Avangrid is making to grow our renewable energy footprint nationwide, but we are not complacent,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “With a big pipeline of future renewable energy projects across the country, and a large fleet of onshore wind projects that is ripe for repowering, we remain steadfast in our commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition. In reaching this milestone, we are setting our sites on the next.”
