Southern Power has started the commercial operation of the Lamesa Solar Facility located in Dawson County, Texas, US.
With the addition of the new 102-megawatt (MW) facility, the company now operates three large scale solar projects in the state.
Southern Power president and CEO 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.
“By providing clean, affordable, wholesale generation, we are able to deliver on our promise to help build the future of energy.”
Last year, the company acquired this facility from Renewable Energy Systems Americas (RES) which delivered full project EPC services.
Currently, RES is serving as the operations and maintenance contractor for the facility.
