Constellation Energy has acquired a 30 MW DC solar generation project in Sacramento, Calif., from utility-grade photovoltaic power plant developer Belectric Inc.
The system will comprise approximately 381,000 First Solar thin-film photovoltaic panels, ground-mounted at multiple sites near Sacramento. Constellation Energy says it will own and operate the system and sell the electricity generated from it to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District under 10 20-year power purchase agreements.
The project is anticipated to be commercially operational by the end of the year.
