Avangrid, Inc., a sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, continues to provide electricity from its energy assets located throughout the US, even during the depths of winter.
The electricity provided by its assets is helping ensure power continues to flow to homes and businesses during a recent winter cold snap, keeping lights on and buildings warm.
“Even in the midst of freezing temperatures, our energy assets are proving to be an affordable and reliable source of electricity for thousands of people across the country. I am grateful for the hundreds of technicians who work at our projects all year to ensure we are providing electricity when it’s needed the most,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “Our projects are maximising American energy production, delivering reliable power, and enhancing our national security, all while growing the economy.”
Over the past week, much of the middle of the US dealt with extreme cold temperatures. Avangrid has over 30 energy facilities situated between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains with a combined installed capacity of over 4.5 GW that are delivering power to families and businesses that count on it each day – whether during the dead of winter or height of summer. Combined, these projects are capable of producing enough energy to power the equivalent of about 1 million homes.
In addition to being there when they are needed most, these projects are important daily economic drivers in these communities, contributing lease payments to participating landowners and delivering critical tax revenue to bolster a variety of public services, including schools.
Avangrid has over 75 projects and 9 GW of installed capacity across 22 states.
