Garza, emphasized that this expansion aligns with their Vision 2027 plan, which aims to provide reliable and sustainable energy while supporting a growing community.

Avangrid's CEO, Pedro Azagra, noted that the expanded contract strengthens their partnership and addresses the increasing demand for electricity in Texas. The Peñascal wind farm has a total capacity of 401 MW, with 80% of its output now allocated to CPS Energy.
