There were rumors that they were looking to announce something else publicly in september but no more. They have a proposal for a massive solar farm adjacent to that facility (and already operate a small one.)

So, I suppose you could say that petrochemical operations at least are TOTALLY RELIANT on new sources of renewable energy (or at least decarbonized, but the only immediate source here in ab is renewable) to build new operations or even continue operating existing facilities.
Shell's solar project with Silicon Ranch for the 58 MW of solar generation is already approved by the AUC.
