Power Plants in USA

Following recent acquisitions, ContourGlobal has solidified its position as a significant Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the United States, with a total of 3.7 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 begun operations in Colorado with our first renewable plant in the U.S. (Black Hollow Sun phase I), and we have several other renewable projects advancing across multiple states, ranging from construction to late-stage development. Our current planned capacity includes approximately 1.5 GW of hybrid renewable capacity — 1.2 GW of solar PV and 0.3 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

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).

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 grandfathered into the IRA tax credits, 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.
