UKA North America Executes 15-Year Power Purchase Agreement with Google for Blue Sky Solar Project in ERCOT West

UKA North America, the U.S. subsidiary of UKA Group, has executed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google for the Blue Sky Solar Project, a 100 MWac utility-scale solar facility located in Crockett County, Texas.

The Blue Sky Solar Project is in late-stage development and is planned to come online in late 2027.  It is intended to supply clean electricity to the ERCOT grid and support Google’s data center operations in Texas. Upon completion, Blue Sky Solar is expected to contribute additional generation capacity in ERCOT while helping advance broader affordability, reliability and decarbonization objectives for the grid. “This agreement represents an important milestone for the Blue Sky project,” said Kelly Wist, Managing Director of UKA North America. “We are pleased to support Google’s energy strategy with a utility-scale solar project that supports their long-term clean energy goals and delivers affordable reliable power to the grid.” 

“By collaborating with UKA North America to bring new low-cost power to the grid, we are helping to ensure that the Texas energy system remains affordable for local families and businesses,” said Will Conkling, Director of Energy and Power, Google.

The project represents a significant investment in Crockett County, creating 150-200 construction jobs and several long-term operations positions, while generating millions in local tax revenue to support schools, emergency services, and county infrastructure. Once operational, it will provide clean electricity for roughly 20,000 Texas homes and boost local spending through landowner payments and construction-related business activity.

The agreement reflects UKA North America’s continued focus on developing high-quality, utility-scale renewable energy projects and reinforces the strength of its North American portfolio. The transaction was facilitated by LevelTen.
