"Blevins represents our strong belief that renewable energy projects deliver a sustainable and reliable source of power, all while invigorating the local economies and unlocking new potential for both direct and indirect revenue streams," said Blake Nixon, president of National Grid Renewables. "Projects like Blevins not only benefit Texas with a clean energy solution, but they also provide reliability and security for the overall electrical grid." National Grid Renewables currently boasts an operating portfolio of 1.1GW of solar capacity in the US, and upon its completion, the Blevins project will have the third-largest capacity of its projects, behind the Noble solar-plus-storage project in Texas and the Yellowbud solar project in Ohio.
