Located approximately 60 miles southwest of downtown Houston, the project will provide critical clean energy capacity to one of the highest electricity demands areas in Texas and the United States. Project SunRoper is expected to begin construction in 2025, reinforcing OCI Energy and Arava Power’s commitment to expanding renewable energy infrastructure in the US market.

“The partnership between OCI Energy and Arava Power reflects our shared vision for advancing solar energy solutions and enhancing grid reliability in high-demand markets” said Sabah Bayatli, President, OCI Energy. “Project SunRoper represents a significant step forward to drive economic growth and energy security across communities in Texas and beyond, advancing our mission to enable a sustainable, prosperous future.”

The joint venture marks the continuation of a strong collaboration between the two companies, Arava Power having acquired, in 2021, OCI Energy’s Project SunRay, a 200 MWac solar farm in Uvalde County, Texas which recently became operational in September 2024.
