We continue to look for other opportunities in the alternative energy industry that make sense for us as a Partnership and look forward to making additional announcements in this area in the future.”
Power from the Maplewood 2 solar farm will be applied to Energy Transfer’s assets in West Texas including its three cryogenic plants in the region along with numerous compressor and pump stations.The facility includes 92,249 solar modules (panels) and encompasses approximately 200 acres of land in Pecos County in the Permian Basin of West Texas.

Mike Arndt, President and General Manager of Recurrent Energy remarked, “Today’s celebration recognizes the importance of a symbiotic relationship between traditional energy and renewable energy. It’s been a pleasure to partner with Energy Transfer to provide an economical, clean energy solution that will support their U.S. operations.”
