Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) ("Targa" or the "Company") today
announced it has entered into agreements to source renewable
electricity from Concho Valley Solar, LLC (“Concho Valley Solar”)
to provide power to Targa’s natural gas processing infrastructure
in the Permian Basin in West Texas. Concho Valley Solar is a joint
development between Merit SI and Komipo America, Inc.
Concho Valley Solar initiated construction of the 160 MWac
project near San Angelo in Tom Green County, Texas in the fourth
quarter of 2021 and is expected to begin delivery of clean,
renewable energy during the fourth quarter of 2022. Concho Valley
Solar will deliver low-cost, renewable electricity to Targa under a
long term power purchase agreement (PPA). This PPA continues to
advance Targa’s long term sustainability strategy to reduce its
emissions intensity.
As joint owner in much of Targa’s Midland Basin gas processing
infrastructure, Pioneer Natural Resources (“Pioneer”) (NYSE: PXD)
will participate in the renewable electricity sourced from the
Concho Valley Solar project, enhancing its emissions reduction
initiatives through renewable electricity purchases and related
renewable energy credits. The combined support by Targa and Pioneer
for this project and potential future joint opportunities
exemplifies the commitment of the two companies to be industry
leaders in reducing emissions throughout the Midland Basin.
Approximately 150 jobs are expected to be created during the
construction phase and increased revenues will be generated over
the operating life for Tom Green County taxing entities.
Concho Valley Solar is specially designed to generate clean
energy while minimizing impacts to wildlife, habitat, and other
environmental resources. The project will utilize high efficiency
bifacial solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.
