Octopus Energy has invested in solar farm developer Circal, with a target of creating 600 MW of new solar farms in the U.S. within the next five years, with a focus on Texas.
Octopus-backed, U.K.-based solar developer Zestec is also setting up shop in the U.S., to build solar panels for commercial and industrial businesses. It, too, is targeting the Texas market, as well as Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.
The company says businesses like warehouses and logistics centers will be able to get solar panels installed by Zestec at no cost.
These latest deals were made on behalf of the Octopus Energy Development Partnership and Sky funds it manages.
“The U.S. continues to break its records with the amount of clean, cheap solar power it is building,” says Zoisa North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation.
“We entered America’s renewables market just three months ago and have big ambitions to build even more green power. With these deals we’re helping power up the green energy revolution across the USA to create a cheaper, greener future.”
This deal comes three months after Octopus made its first renewables investments Stateside, with the acquisition of solar farms in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.
Yes, Lucy. I think most of us already knew that.
It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.
They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?
Yes, part of this is stupidity. But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.
I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand. She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end. I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.
Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.
