Grenergy has signed a long-term power purchase agreement with Georgia Power for its Beaver Creek solar-plus-storage project in Georgia. The agreement supports the company’s growing US renewable energy portfolio amid rising electricity demand driven by AI and data centre expansion.
Grenergy has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Georgia Power under the Clean and Renewable Energy Subscription (CARES) 2023 programme for its Beaver Creek hybrid solar and battery storage project in the United States.
The agreement covers the sale of energy and renewable attributes over a 20-year period and includes 100% of the project’s estimated annual generation of approximately 400 GWh. Battery market operations for the project will be managed by Georgia Power.
Located in Baldwin County, Georgia, the Beaver Creek project will combine 229 MW of solar generation capacity with 183 MWh of battery energy storage. Commercial operations are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2028, while the PPA is scheduled to take effect in May 2029.
Grenergy has been expanding its presence in the US market since 2022 and currently operates from its regional headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama. The company’s US portfolio includes 1.2 GW of solar capacity, 1.7 GWh of hybrid projects, and 2.3 GWh of standalone battery storage projects.
The company already operates two standalone battery storage facilities in Texas — Stadium (25 MWh) and La Feria (25 MWh).
Grenergy said its US growth strategy is aligned with rapidly rising electricity demand linked to the expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence infrastructure, which is increasing the need for reliable renewable energy and storage capacity.
David Ruiz de Andrés, Chief Executive Officer of Grenergy, said the US market is experiencing extraordinary growth in energy demand, largely driven by AI, creating significant opportunities for renewable energy projects with strong long-term returns, particularly across the southeastern United States.
The company also aims to replicate in the US its integrated solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system (PV+BESS) model already established in Chile and currently being expanded across Europe.
