SB Energy Global’s Orion I, Orion II and Orion III solar projects (Orion Solar Belt), located in Milam County, Texas, have reached commercial operation.
The projects total 875 MW and utilize 1.3 million modules, manufactured by First Solar at its Perrysburg, Ohio facility. The 22,800 tons of structural steel for the project is sourced from Gerdau steel mills located in Midlothian, Texas and Cartersville, Ga. The projects include Nextracker smart solar trackers. SB Energy selected Blattner to provide the EPC services for the project. Most of the steel for the Orion Solar Belt was sourced from Gerdau’s steel mill, located in Midlothian.
Company leadership was joined by U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, state and local officials, suppliers, anchor customer Google and investors to celebrate the milestone.
“When it comes to actualizing American jobs and providing power to the world’s largest energy users, SB Energy is committed to creating the roadmap,” says Rich Hossfeld, SB Energy co-CEO.
“We are thankful for the support from Secretary Jennifer Granholm and the many federal, local and statewide leaders, as well as Google. We hope the Orion Solar Belt serves as a catalyst for growing investments in a robust American-made supply chain for solar.”
SB Energy’s projects are delivering electricity to the Texas grid and helping power Google’s data centers in Ellis County and its Dallas cloud region.

What Richard Gere says here seems to imply that the threat to the United States posed by Donald Trump has somehow been vanquished, but sadly, that’s not the case.
Trump’s Threat to Cripple the United States Is Far from Over
There are lots of reasons to expatriate. For example, some people want to live where their retirement dollars will go further.
Others simply refuse to be a part of the continuing onslaught of war crimes, the protection of child rapists, and the destruction of the environment. It’s easy to understand that folks hate living in a nation of greedy pigs and hateful morons.
If had no medical issues and no children, I’d be writing this from my new home in Iceland, or any of a number of other countries where sanity and rule of law prevail.
The place below is a 40-minute drive from Reykjavik, on the market for $468K. My wife and I would be long gone.
At left we see the words of the former U.S. Speaker of the House, providing the rationale for voting Republicans out of office, i.e. the soaring cost of living.
Personally, I’d go with the fact that Trump and his congressional supporters are psychotic criminals, ruining the United States and a great deal of the rest of the world.
