Ørsted Continues To Expand In The United States (Part 2) Orsted
“We are very pleased that construction on the Mockingbird Solar Center is set to commence next week. The Mockingbird Solar Center will bring new construction and maintenance jobs to the area and new tax revenue for our community and school districts over the life of the project. We look forward to working with Ørsted as a partner in our community in the decades ahead,” said Maureen Hammond, Executive Director of the Paris Economic Development Corporation.
“We need to deliver green energy for this generation while protecting natural habitats for the next. That is why we’ve prioritized the Smiley-Woodfin Prairie in Texas as our first biodiversity initiative in the United States,” said Daniel Willard, Biodiversity Specialist at Ørsted. “We want to thank The Nature Conservancy for working with us on this conservation effort.
The prairie ecosystem is an incredibly valuable and productive asset providing a variety of benefits. Floods are prevented, water filtration occurs naturally, and carbon storage takes place in these wondrous lands. Additionally, they act as habitats to many species like birds, monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
Through this ambitious endeavor, Ørsted plans to dedicate the most pristine part of the Smiley-Woodfin Prairie in support of grassland conservation across America. This plays into its goal that all renewable energy projects have a net positive impact on biodiversity by 2030. In addition, it has launched several global programs which seek to protect and replenish coral beds, observe crustacean habitats, revive seagrass ecosystems and reintroduce oysters.
