Enlight Secures 200 MW Solar Deal with Google for Oklahoma Data Center

Event summary

  • Enlight Renewable Energy signed a 15-year, 200 MWac solar power purchase agreement with Google to support data center operations in Oklahoma.
  • The energy will be generated by the Solstice project, a 250 MWdc solar facility expected to begin construction in 2028 and reach commercial operations in 2029.
  • The deal marks Enlight’s first U.S. commercial customer agreement and its first project in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) market.
  • Solstice is anticipated to expand to include 800 MWh of battery energy storage capacity in a subsequent phase.

The big picture

This agreement signals Enlight’s strategic pivot into the U.S. commercial renewable energy market, particularly targeting the fast-growing data center sector. The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) market, where the project is located, is experiencing significant demand growth and fossil generation retirements, making new renewable investments critical. Enlight’s ability to secure a high-profile customer like Google underscores its growing capability to deliver large-scale, high-capacity projects.
