Southern Power has started commercial operation of the 102MW Lamesa solar farm in Dawson County in Texas.
RES, which sold the facility to Southern in July last year, was EPC contractor and will provide operations and maintenance services for the plant.
The project comprises 410,000 photovoltaic solar panels and supplies the City of Garland with electricity and associated renewable energy credits under a 15-year power purchase agreement.
Southern Power president and chief executive Buzz Miller said: “The Lamesa solar facility is an important addition to our growing renewable fleet, and we look forward to operating it for the benefit of our customer.”
