Ferrovial Expands into US Renewables with Texas Solar Project

Spanish infrastructure company Ferrovial SE has purchased a 257-MWp solar project in Texas, marking its first investment in the US renewables market.

Ferrovial Energy, a division of Ferrovial, is leading the project and plans to invest USD 72 million in the development.
