The Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex will consist of more than 70,000 solar modules that will generate about 60,000 Megawatt Hours per year of electricity, enough to power 23,000 electric vehicles for an entire year. This project is significant not just for its size, but for its potential to contribute meaningfully to California's energy goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Zhanna Golodryga, executive vice president of Emerging Energy and Sustainability for Phillips 66, stated, 'We are excited to collaborate with NextEra Energy Resources on a project that aligns with our mission of providing energy and improving lives. This solar facility not only underscores our commitment to advancing a lower-carbon future but also enhances our energy infrastructure.'
Rebecca Kujawa, president & CEO of NextEra Energy Resources, emphasized, 'This project will not only benefit Phillips 66's operations and the customers who rely on its renewable fuels, but also demonstrates how renewable energy can integrate seamlessly into industrial operations. Our collaboration exemplifies sustainable growth and energy innovation for the future.'
The project is anticipated to avoid approximately 33,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually starting in 2025. Notably, it will provide 50 percent of the facility's power without using water for electricity generation, which highlights its environmental considerations in addition to its scale.
