Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex launches 30.2MW solar facility

In California, the solar facility at Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex is now commercially operating, marking a pivotal step in the collaboration between Phillips 66 and NextEra Energy Resources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at one of the largest on-site solar facilities in the United States. What this means: This 30.2-megawatt facility sets new standards in integrating renewable energy into industrial operations. It reduces Rodeo’s grid power demand by 50%, avoiding 33,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. It is designed to generate approximately 60,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity, enough to power more than 23,000 electric vehicles each year.
