"Enel North America will deploy over 6,000 sheep at eight Texas solar farms in
the US’s largest announced agrivoltaics agreement.
The Andover, Massachusetts-based renewable energy company, which is already the
leading operator of utility-scale battery storage in Texas, is partnering with
Texas Solar Sheep Co., a family business that provides vegetation management at
large solar farms.
Texas Solar Sheep will deploy over 6,000 sheep to graze on more than 10,100
acres of Enel’s solar farm land – that’s nearly 12 times larger than Central
Park in New York City.
This is one of the most significant single contracts for dual-use solar,
according to the American Solar Grazing Association, which estimates that
100,000 acres of solar farms are being grazed in the US per a recent survey.
Solar grazing is at the forefront of a booming agrivoltaics industry, and we
are seeing more and more leaders in the solar industry investing in
long-lasting partnerships with farmers and creating new opportunities for
American agriculture,” said Kevin Richardson, outreach director at the American
Solar Grazing Association."
