Oncor Electric Delivery Company and Hanwha Renewables have agreed to amend an interconnection agreement relating to the developer’s operational Oberon Solar project, according to documents filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas this month.

Located in Ector County, Texas, the 180 MW standalone solar project was cleared for commercial operations by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) during August 2020.

However, this latest amendment changes the electrical configuration of the project, which will now also be connected behind-the-meter to a “third-party electrical load.”

Although the source of the new load wasn’t revealed, the project is expected to come online in May 2028 with a peak demand of up to approximately 110.4 MW at a power factor of 0.95.

Oncor states that it has performed “necessary interconnection studies for the requested load addition,” and that no additional transmission infrastructure is required to accommodate the new load.

This amendment was signed on June 1, 2026 between Oncor and two Hanwha Renewables-owned business subsidiaries: Oberon Solar 1A, LLC and Oberon Solar 1B, LLC.
