Phillips 66 teams with NextEra Energy Resources to power Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex with solar facility
Phillips 66 has partnered with NextEra Energy Resources to build a 30.2 MW solar facility that will power the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex. The facility will reduce grid power demand by 50% and avoid approximately 33,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually starting Q1 2025.
The solar installation, spanning 88 acres and featuring over 70,000 solar modules, will generate about 60,000 MWh/year of electricity, equivalent to powering 23,000 electric vehicles annually. The project has created 130 local union construction jobs.
The Rodeo Complex, which produces renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from lower-carbon feedstocks, reached full processing capacity of 50,000 BPD in June after transitioning to renewable feedstocks in March.

Insights
This strategic solar project represents a significant step in Phillips 66's transition to cleaner energy operations. The 30.2 MW solar facility will supply
The partnership with NextEra Energy Resources, a leading renewable energy developer, brings valuable expertise and capital efficiency to the project. The integration with the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex, which already processes 50,000 BPD of renewable feedstock, creates a synergistic renewable energy ecosystem. This positions Phillips 66 advantageously in the growing renewable fuels market while potentially reducing exposure to future carbon pricing risks.
The project's environmental benefits are substantial and quantifiable. The anticipated reduction of 33,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually represents meaningful progress in industrial decarbonization. The solar facility's water-free operation is particularly noteworthy in the drought-prone California region, demonstrating responsible resource management.
The complex's focus on lower-carbon intensity feedstocks like used cooking oil and vegetable oils, combined with this solar power integration, creates a compelling environmental narrative. This dual approach to emissions reduction - both in feedstock selection and operational power sourcing - positions Phillips 66 as a leader in sustainable fuel production, potentially attracting environmentally conscious customers and investors.
The solar facility will reduce the complex’s grid power demand by
