RWE has reached a significant growth milestone in the USA after achieving a total of 10 GW installed generation capacity of onshore wind, solar and energy storage facilities in operation across the country.
The company owns and operates a portfolio of more than 170 facilities in 24 states, including 4.3 GW of solar, 5.2 GW of onshore wind and 0.5 GW of battery storage. It also has more than 4 GW of clean energy projects under construction.
During 2024, RWE commissioned new onshore wind, solar and battery storage facilities with a total combined generation capacity of 953 MW, and brought online six projects, all of which are helping to meet the growing energy demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centres, manufacturing and more.
Contributing together to RWE’s 10 GW milestone are two recently commissioned solar projects in the USA, Northern Orchard Solar and Timberland Solar. Northern Orchard is located in Kern County, California, and has an installed capacity of 150 MWac solar energy, with a co-located 92 MW (368 MWh) battery energy storage which will be commissioned during the coming months. Timberland Solar is a 140 MWac solar farm in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.
