Cypress Creek and Google begin construction on Steel River Energy Centre, targeting gigawatts of solar and storage

The project is designed to add 2.5 GWdc of solar capacity and 2.9 GWh of battery storage, with construction now under way.

1 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Cypress Creek and Google have started construction on a large renewable energy project called the Steel River Energy Centre, according to a report from Power Technology.

The project is being developed to ultimately deliver substantial clean power capacity, with a stated target of 2.5 gigawatts direct current (GWdc) of solar generation.

Alongside the solar capacity, the development is also intended to include 2.9 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery storage, which is designed to help manage the timing of electricity supply.

Battery capacity is commonly measured in GWh, reflecting how much energy the batteries can store, while the solar figure in GWdc reflects the nameplate generation capability of solar modules under direct current conditions.

The announcement indicates that the companies are moving from planning into physical build-out, a milestone that typically requires permitting, procurement, and site preparation to be completed to the point where crews can install major equipment.

Neither the report nor the project summary available here provides additional build-out details such as the location, the project’s timeline to commissioning, or the financing structure used for construction.

In the same report context, it was also not specified whether Google is contracting for all output, taking a separate supply arrangement, or using the facility to support broader climate or data-center power needs, beyond the general association with the project’s scale.

Why It Matters

  • Utility-scale solar plus battery storage is increasingly used to reduce intermittency and provide more reliable power, particularly for customers with firm energy requirements.
  • A 2.5 GWdc solar build and 2.9 GWh battery allocation is large enough to meaningfully affect regional supply planning if fully commissioned.
  • Moves from development into construction often indicate that permitting and major procurement steps are progressing, which can change project expectations for the broader renewables pipeline.
  • Because limited project specifics were provided here, investors and grid planners will likely look for later updates on commissioning timing, grid interconnection, and commercial arrangements.
