KROCI Holdings' US subsidiary OCI Energy has started construction on a 260-megawatt solar farm in Texas called SunRoper. The project, located in Wharton County, is a joint venture between OCI Energy and the Israeli energy developer Arava Power, each holding a 50% stake. It is supported by a long-term power purchase agreement with a US Fortune 100 company and is expected to start operations in 2027, providing enough electricity for approximately 60,000 households. The project is part of OCI Energy's broader expansion plans, which include another 500 MW solar and energy storage project named La Salle. By 2030, OCI Energy aims to increase its development pipeline to 15 GW and its operational portfolio to over 2 GW.
