   The company's first utility-scale solar plus battery storage project of 
460MWAC reaches commercial operation, making Ørsted the first 
developer to operate the full spectrum of new renewable technologies at 
utility scale in the US. 
 
   Ørsted has completed its Permian Energy Center project, a 460 MWAC 
hybrid solar and battery storage facility located in Andrews County, 
Texas. 
 
   Permian Energy Center brings Ørsted's onshore operating capacity to 
2.1 GW. The project and its 420 MWAC of solar PV and 40 MWAC of battery 
storage will be located on a 3,600-acre site alongside existing oil and 
gas installations and will supply growing West Texas demand for 
electricity. 
 
   "Permian Energy Center is a significant milestone for Ørsted, 
making it the first developer to own the full spectrum of new renewable 
energy technologies at utility scale in the US - onshore and offshore 
wind, solar PV, and storage," commented Neil O'Donovan, Chief Operations 
Officer of Ørsted's Onshore business. Neil adds: "I'm very proud of 
the Ørsted team and our project partners, who've yet again done an 
excellent job to ensure the safe, on-time, on-budget delivery of our 
first utility-scale solar PV project." 
 
   The project's 1.3 million solar panels will generate enough clean energy 
to power more than 80,000 US households.
