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