Iberdrola Renewables is developing this Copper Crossing solar power plant, and will own and operate it.
The company will sell the electricity generated from the plant under a long-term contract to utility provider Salt River Project for distribution on the region’s utility grid.
The plant, which is expected to be fully operational in 2011, will use the SunPower Oasis power plant product, a fully integrated modular solar power block that is engineered to rapidly deploy utility-scale solar projects while optimizing land use.
Each power block integrates the SunPower T0 Tracker with the company’s E19 series solar panels, pre-manufactured system cabling and other advanced features.
Last month, SunPower entered into an agreement to design and build a 30MW solar power plant for Iberdrola Renewables in Alamosa County, Colorado.
