Avangrid has completed the installation of over 250,000 American-made solar panels at the 166 MWdc Tower Solar project in Morrow County, Oregon. The panels were assembled by SEG Solar at its Houston facility.

The project is expected to achieve commercial operations by the end of 2026 and will supply energy to the Portland General Electric (PGE) grid, supporting a new QTS data center. The project has created about 200 construction jobs, primarily filled by local union labor, and is projected to contribute $20 million in taxes to local services. Tower Solar will participate in PGE's Green Future Impact program for sustainable energy.
