Project Description
El Paso Electric purchases 20 MW of electricity generated from solar power from the Roadrunner Solar Generating Facility located in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The Roadrunner Solar Facility, which began operations in August 2011, is owned by NRG. This facility provides enough energy to service the electricity needs of 5,700 homes on an annual basis. The Solar Roadrunner Plant uses thin-film panels provided by FirstSolar and single-axis tracking of the sun to capture solar rays and convert them into electricity.
