Duke Energy Renewables, a subsidiary of Duke Energy (DUK), said
Thursday its 100-megawatt Lapetus Solar project in Andrews County,
Texas, began commercial operation in December.
The company said this is its second solar project in commercial
operation in Texas and the first large-scale solar project in
Andrews County.
The project, which Duke Energy Renewables acquired from 7X
Energy in February 2019, employed as many as 240 individuals during
the peak construction period. It contains more than 340,000 solar
panels.
Duke Energy Renewables said energy generated from the Lapetus
Solar project will be delivered to the ERCOT grid and is being sold
under three multiyear power purchase agreements to Brazos Electric
Power Cooperative Inc. on behalf of CoServ Electric and seven other
distribution cooperative members.
Duke Energy said it is on track to own or purchase 8,000
megawatts of wind, solar and biomass energy by the end of 2020.
