Terra-Gen has successfully completed several notable projects, including the Edwards Sanborn Solar and Battery Storage Project located in Kern County, California. This expansive project spans 4,600 acres and boasts an impressive solar capacity of 807 MW, along with over 3 GWh of storage, which became operational in phases between 2022 and 2023. The project is capable of supplying up to 1,300 MW to the CAISO grid and was recognized with the 2024 Presidential Federal Sustainability Award (source: cbinsights.com). Additionally, Terra-Gen operates the largest wind farm in the U.S., alongside a portfolio of 26-32 facilities that collectively generate between 2.4-3.9 GW of wind and solar power, complemented by 5.1 GWh of storage capacity (source: terra-gen.com). The company is also actively expanding its operations, with future phases of the Edwards Sanborn project expected to add 2,000 MW of solar and storage capacity, as well as a pipeline of additional wind and solar projects that have been in development since 2020 (source: terra-gen.com).

In recent years, Terra-Gen has undergone significant changes, including the acquisition of a 50% stake by Masdar from Energy Capital Partners in 2024. This strategic move has enabled the company to expand its operating capacity to approximately 3.8-3.9 GW, including 5.1 GWh of storage across 30 sites, thereby supporting its ambitions for growth in the U.S. renewable energy market (source: terra-gen.com).
