Luminant announced that it has agreed to buy 116 megawatts generated by a SunEdison large-scale solar plant in Upton County, Texas.
Luminant said that the solar power purchase agreement is the largest in the nation for a merchant generator operating in a competitive market.
Starting in late 2016, Luminant will purchase power from SunEdison's Castle Gap facility, a photovoltaic solar plant currently under development in Upton County.
Luminant said that, unlike typical agreements in which the solar-generated power is sold to a specific customer or in a regulated portion of Texas, Luminant will sell the electricity to the ERCOT competitive market.
