Hanwha Q Cells USA has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Austin Energy for electricity from a 170MW utility-scale solar power plant in Pecos County in Texas.
Hanwha said it plans to complete the development, design, and construction of the solar project in an “expedited fashion”.
Hanwha Q Cells USA chief development officer Laurence Greene said: “We’re very excited by the opportunity to work with Austin Energy and support their goal of adding significant solar energy to their generation portfolio.
“The solar facility will be a state-of-the-art generation resource using high-performing and efficient technology that will transform the underutilized site into an environmentally sustainable source of power to the local community.”
