The Aurelius 2 Solar project is a proposed solar generation facility with a total capacity of 445.4 MW. Located in Deaf Smith County, Texas, the project is being developed by IP Roman II, LLC. It is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-29INR0009, with a queue entry date of December 4, 2023. The proposed commercial operation date is September 30, 2028, and the project's interconnection agreement status is currently in the Facility Study phase.
The point of interconnection is the 23908 Deaf Smith station 345 kV. This interconnection request includes a 600 MW private use network (PUN) load at the medium voltage side of the Main Power Transformers (MPTs) for a total of 1800 MW PUN load. The project has appeared in recent news coverage regarding renewable energy development in Texas.
