X-ELIO powers on Texas solar-and-storage plant that will supply BASF Freeport operations

X-ELIO has officially launched its Liberty Energy Project in Texas, marking a significant milestone in BASF's renewable energy transition strategy.

This groundbreaking facility combines 72 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity with 60 MW of battery storage, representing X-ELIO's first integrated solar and battery storage system in the United States. Through a 12-year power purchase agreement, BASF's Freeport site now receives 100% of its expected power needs from renewable sources, supporting the chemical giant's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. The project demonstrates how strategic partnerships between energy developers and industrial companies can accelerate the transition to sustainable operations while supporting local community development.
