Power Plants in USA

USA


Following recent acquisitions, ContourGlobal has solidified its position as a significant Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the United States, with a total of 2.8 GW of power generation capacity across assets in operation, under construction, or in advanced stages of development. Our U.S. thermal portfolio, which accounts for 1.3 GW, includes 11 plants strategically located in California, New Mexico, and Texas, as well as a light fuel oil plant in Connecticut.
These plants provide essential baseload power to the grid, contributing to the stability and reliability of the U.S. energy infrastructure. In addition, we have a hybrid renewable capacity of 1.5 GW, comprising 1.2 GW of solar PV and 0.3 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Our renewable projects are at various stages of maturity, with initial commercial operations expected to begin in the first half of 2025 and continue through 2031.
To support our growing operations, our regional headquarters are based in Houston, Texas, and we employ a total of 131 professionals across our U.S. branches and corporate office, driving innovation and sustainable energy solutions.

Our Renewable Portfolio
Black Hollow Sun I and II / Carver
In January 2025, we announced the acquisition of a portfolio of three late-stage PV assets located in Colorado (WECC), and Virginia (PJM) with gross capacity of 446 MW. One asset is in an advanced stage of construction, and we expect it to reach COD in the first half of 2025. The other two assets are in the development phase, and we expect construction to start in the first half of 2025 and the first half of 2026, respectively. We expect the portfolio to become fully commercially operational in 2027. All three assets have secured 20-22- year busbar PPAs with investment grade utilities.
Sterling I and II
In December 2024, we advanced our hybrid renewable portfolio with another solar and storage project acquisition in the western United States, near the Arizona/ California border. The project is in advanced stage of development and will be erected over two phases boasting a combined capacity of 567 MWp of solar PV and 321 MW/1.3 GWh of BESS, totaling 888 MW of hybrid capacity once fully built. While connected to Arizona’s WAPA grid, the project is near the California border and includes firm transmission rights to deliver power to CAISO, providing flexibility to serve customers in both in the WECC-Southwest (AZ) and CAISO (CA).
Foster Mill and Wilson Bridge (Suntribe)
In August 2024, we entered into the U.S. renewables market through the acquisition of a 151 MW solar portfolio comprising two PV projects in South Carolina. These late-stage development assets are expected to commence commercial operations between 2029 and 2031. Both assets have secured long-term PPAs, and all grid interconnection studies have been successfully completed. We will oversee the construction, operation and maintenance of these facilities, ensuring timely, efficient and reliable energy delivery.
