Austin Energy, the publicly owned power utility servicing Texas’s liberal-minded capital city, today announced that it had handed a 20-year power purchase agreement to Recurrent Energy for a 150MW ground-mount array, which will be among the largest in Texas when it is completed in 2016.
Earlier this spring Missouri-based SunEdison was tipped as the likely winner of the contract, having reportedly offered to sell electricity to Austin Energy for $0.05/kWh
