NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (Juno Beach, Florida, U.S.), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, Inc., on May 9th, 2016 announced that it brought into service a 6.8 megawatt (MW) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) array in Klamath County, Oregon.
The PV project, which includes 21,964 sun-tracking solar panels, is located on a former Weyerhaeuser industrial site.
The PV plant is expected to generate enough electricity to power an estimated 1,200 homes. Construction began in 2015 and employed more than 100 construction, security and electrical workers from Oregon over the course of the project.
Pacific Power will purchase the solar power generated by the PV system as part of a 15-year power purchase agreement, which may be extended for up to two five-year increments.
“This is currently the largest solar project in Oregon and we are proud to have it delivering energy to our customers,” said Todd Andres, regional business manager for Pacific Power, which is part of PacifiCorp.
