RES tapped to manage O&M for one of the largest solar projects in the country
RES announced it has been selected by Repsol to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services at one of the largest solar projects in the United States.
Built upon a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation, the partnership aims to maximize the performance of Repsol’s 637-MWDC Frye Solar facility in Kress, Texas. RES will perform preventive and corrective maintenance, remote monitoring, reporting and vegetation maintenance.
“By teaming with RES on this comprehensive O&M agreement, Repsol Renewables North America will ensure the highest levels of safety, reliability and performance at our largest utility-scale solar site to date,” said Terry Oswald, VP of O&M at RRNA. “In addition, this agreement will help us meet the commitments to the communities we operate in and provide the clean sustainable energy for our customers we serve.”
Leveraging the company’s experience across the full lifecycle of solar projects from development, through construction and into long-term operations, RES is uniquely positioned to identify opportunities to enhance the performance of the Frye facility.
“The RES team is immensely grateful for this opportunity to partner with such an exceptional organization,” said Stevan Vale, RES senior VP of services in the Americas. “By leveraging our deep knowledge and innovative technologies, we aim to unlock the full potential of this landmark project.”
The company’s comprehensive reliability management approach to O&M goes beyond traditional strategies to include diagnostic testing and risk assessment. By systematically assessing and mitigating risks, RES helps asset owners optimize maintenance resources, reduce downtime and maximize revenue generation. Expertise in spares management and use of digital technologies further strengthens RES’s ability to identify and address issues promptly, minimizing downtime and maximizing asset performance.
The project fully aligns with the company’s recent investments in its services business around the world. In March, RES completed the acquisition of Ingeteam’s renewable service division, expanding the company’s operations to 24 markets and securing its position as the largest independent renewable energy services provider in the world. The company holds more than 41 GW of O&M and asset management contracts globally. RES also recently completed construction on its operations control center in its North American headquarters in Denver, which will serve clients across the Americas market.
