Avangrid, a US subsidiary of Iberdrola SA, has announced a significant repowering project in Gilliam County, Oregon. The project, known as 'Leaning Juniper IIB,' involves a power purchase agreement with Google, supplying more than 100 megawatts (MW) of energy to support Google's data centres in The Dalles. The repowering will see the replacement of existing components with modern equipment, enhancing the facility's efficiency and energy output. This upgrade is expected to extend the lifespan of the facility and generate enough electricity to power around 31,000 US homes annually. Avangrid, which owns and operates approximately 2.5GW of energy generation capacity in Oregon, has been part of the Gilliam County community for over fifteen years. The project is also anticipated to contribute approximately $20 million in taxes over its lifespan, supporting local public services and education through a Strategic Investment Programme agreement.
