Flint Hills Resources is planning to build its second company-owned solar installation to assist powering its U.S. refinery operations.
The 27 MW installation would provide electricity to the company’s Corpus Christi West refinery, which produces jet fuel, diesel and gasoline. The company says the project is the first in Texas to provide onsite, self-generated electricity directly to an oil refinery.
“We continue to improve our refinery operations and make progress toward our vision of being the best refining company in the industry,” adds Jeff Ramsey, president and CEO of Flint Hills Resources.
“We are proving that large-scale solar can be successfully integrated into large, complex industrial facilities, helping to lower costs while maintaining reliability and improving our environmental performance.”
Arizona-based DEPCOM Power has been selected as the project’s EPC contractor. Both Flint Hills Resources and DEPCOM are subsidiaries of Koch Companies.

I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.
As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
Trump should fire Pete Hegseth?
Oh sure. If you’re Trump, Hegseth is the perfect leader of the Pentagon. He’s lawless, stupid, cruel, misogynistic, and racist. No one could possibly match Trump’s values with any greater precision.
We won’t know how much damage Trump has done to our county, its people, the world in general, until Trump leaves office.
That’s just one more good reason to make this happen soon.
