unced yesterday that it will be partnering with Cypress Creek Energy (Private)INDUSTRY to become the primary investor and off taker in what is expected to be the largest solar energy and storage facility in the

country. Once fully operational in 2029, the three-phase project will deliver ~2.5GW of solar generation along with ~2.9GWh

and ~1.9GWh of solar energy and battery storage capacity, respectively. We note this is Google's largest solar and storage
