Duke on Monday announced it will buy three PV projects totaling 128MW – from the developers Strata Solar, HelioSage Energy and Tangent Energy Solutions. In addition, it has signed five power-purchase agreements good for another 150MW of capacity, pushing the day's total to 278MW.
The deals are the result of the 300MW solar Request for Proposal Duke issued in February to keep up with North Carolina’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) for retail electricity sales.
