The 50-MW solar, 200-MWh battery storage Ocotillo Wells Solar project is now operational in Borrego Springs, California. The project, built by Qcells, is the largest utility-scale solar project in San Diego County.

Renewable energy from the project will be purchased by Meta, one of the world’s largest renewable energy buyers. Since 2020, Meta’s global operations have been supported by 100% renewable energy and have reached net zero emissions. The company also has an ambitious goal to reach net zero emissions across its value chain in 2030.

Mr. IP Kim, President of Qcells USA, expressed his pride in the project’s success, stating, “We are excited to accomplish the construction of the Ocotillo Wells Solar project. Getting to the finish line on a project like this reflects our dedication to providing energy solutions that support the growth of American energy. We are honored to contribute to the energy landscape and execute another clean energy project that aids America’s energy transition.”
