The solar power plant is built by Premier Power along with its joint venture partner and European firm Plaan Czech, under an agreement entered last September.
The solar power plant is repurposing the land that once was a coal mine.
For every kWh generated from the sun, the power plant will receive $0.3 for the next 20 years from the US energy administration.
The project is scheduled to be completed during second quarter of 2012.
Premier Power Renewable Energy is a provider of large and medium-scale solar power systems.
