our renewable energy footprint nationwide, but we are not
complacent,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “With a big pipeline
of future renewable energy projects across the country, and a large

remain steadfast in our commitment to accelerating the clean energy
transition. In reaching this milestone, we are setting our sites on
the next.”

goals, but deliver important community benefits by creating jobs,
