AUSTIN (January 16, 2024) – Treaty Oak Clean Energy, LLC has entered into an agreement to acquire a utility-scale solar plus storage project in MISO-South from affiliates of Galehead Development, LLC. The acquisition adds 250 MW of late-stage solar and storage project capacity to Treaty Oak’s portfolio and provides additional opportunities to partner with communities and energy consumers in the MISO-South area on clean, cost-competitive and reliable energy solutions. The project is expected to reach commercial operations in the first half of 2026, and the transaction includes further joint investment in Galehead’s “ReAcre” land conservation initiative.
