Austin Energy, a municipal electric utility in Austin, Texas, has selected Gemini Solar Development Company LLC to construct a 30-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic solar power plant.
The power plant will be located 25 miles east of Austin. It will occupy approximately 300 acres of city-owned land. The total system capacity is around 30 MW, and it is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2010. Suntech's solar panels will be installed in the 30-MW plant.
The ownership and operation of the plant is left to Gemini Solar. The electricity generated by Gemini will be bought by Austin Energy under a 25 year non-escalating power purchase agreement.
