Origis Energy has reached commercial operations of three additional phases of its Rockhound Solar complex in Ector County, Texas — bringing the total operating capacity at the site to nearly 1 GW.
The newly completed phases represent roughly 500 MW of solar capacity. Upon full completion, the Rockhound complex is expected to exceed 2 GW of solar and storage capacity by 2029.
The Rockhound complex, which includes the previously announced and operational Swift Air Solar facilities, is purpose-built to meet the needs of global companies, demonstrated by long-term contracts with Meta, Occidental, dsm-firmenich and Bekaert.
“This milestone underscores Origis Energy’s ability to consistently execute at scale,” said Vikas Anand, CEO. “Reaching nearly 1 GW of operating capacity in Ector County, Texas, demonstrates the strength of our platform, the depth of customer demand, and our ability to deliver complex, multi-phase infrastructure projects with safety, quality, speed and certainty.”
The next phase of the Rockhound complex — representing approximately 1 GW of additional solar and storage capacity — is currently being marketed for data center co-location opportunities and long-term corporate offtake structures, reflecting continued demand from energy-intensive customers seeking reliable, scalable power solutions.
