RES, the world's largest independent renewable energy company, has been selected by Repsol to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services at one of the largest solar projects in the United States.
Built upon a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation, the partnership aims to maximize the performance of Repsol's 637 MWdc Frye Solar facility in Kress, Texas. RES will perform preventive and corrective maintenance, remote monitoring, reporting and vegetation maintenance.
"By teaming with RES on this comprehensive O&M agreement, Repsol Renewables North America will ensure the highest levels of safety, reliability and performance at our largest utility-scale solar site to date," said Terry Oswald, Vice President of Operations and Maintenance at RRNA. "In addition, this agreement will help us meet the commitments to the communities we operate in and provide the clean sustainable energy for our customers we serve."
Leveraging the company's experience across the full lifecycle of solar projects from development, through construction and into long-term operations, RES is uniquely positioned to identify opportunities to enhance the performance of the Frye facility.
"The RES team is immensely grateful for this opportunity to partner with such an exceptional organization," said Stevan Vale, RES Senior Vice President, Services in the Americas. "By leveraging our deep knowledge and innovative technologies, we aim to unlock the full potential of this landmark project."
The company's comprehensive reliability management approach to O&M goes beyond traditional strategies to include diagnostic testing and risk assessment. By systematically assessing and mitigating risks, RES helps asset owners optimize maintenance resources, reduce downtime, and maximize revenue generation. Expertise in spares management and use of advanced technologies further strengthens RES's ability to identify and address issues promptly, minimizing downtime and maximizing asset performance.
The project fully aligns with the company's recent investments in its Services business around the world. In March, RES completed the acquisition of Ingeteam's renewable service division, expanding the company's operations to 24 markets and securing its position as the largest independent renewable energy services provider in the world. The company holds more than 41GW of O&M and asset management contracts globally. RES also recently completed construction on its state-of-the-art operations control center in its North American headquarters in Denver, which will serve clients across the Americas market.
The partnership with Repsol further strengthens this portfolio and underscores the commitment RES has made to its Services business in the North American market.
