Linea Energy and Google have entered into a 15-year power purchase agreement for 500 megawatts of solar energy from the 3,526-acre Duffy Solar Project in Matagorda County, Texas. The project will supply electricity to support Google’s data center operations in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market.

Construction of the Duffy Solar Project is expected to begin in Q3 2026. It will be co-located with a 235 MWac battery energy storage system currently under construction, designed to support grid stability alongside solar generation.

Commenting on the agreement, Cassidy DeLine, Chief Executive Officer of Linea Energy, said the deal reflects the company’s position in the utility-scale renewables market: “We are pleased to sign this agreement to supply clean energy in Texas to Google, one of the world's largest buyers of clean power. This transaction highlights Linea's credibility amongst the largest hyperscalers and the ability to support affordability and grid reliability.”

At Google, Will Conkling, Director of Energy and Power, said the partnership supports broader system benefits, noting: “By collaborating with Linea Energy to bring new low-cost power to the grid, we are helping to ensure the Lone Star State’s energy system remains affordable for local families and businesses.”

The project is part of broader renewable energy development activity supported by EnCap Investments L.P., which sponsors Linea Energy through its energy transition platform.
