Pflugerville solar PV project developed by Recurrent Energy in Texas planned to be commissioned in 2021

November 9, 2020/in Projects /by Solar Business Hub

MONTEREY, Calif., November 9, 2020 (Solar Business Hub) — RP Construction Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the construction of the Pflugerville solar project near Austin, Texas, which started in August this year, is well on its way and slated to be completed in the summer of 2021.

The 185 MWp/144 MWac Pflugerville Solar Project in Travis County, Texas.

Developed by Recurrent Energy, the 144 MWac Pflugerville solar project located in Travis County, Texas, will span nearly 950 acres.

Signal Energy is directing the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) activities of the project. Under this direction, RP Construction Services (RPCS) will perform the mechanical installation and E Light Electric (ELE) will perform the low voltage electrical installation. RigUp is supplying skilled labor to both RPCS and ELE.

The Pflugerville solar project will create more than 350 construction jobs, half of which will be performed by local labor. Operation and maintenance of the power plant will also support permanent, long-term jobs.

The project will feature DuraTrack HZ V3 single-axis solar trackers from Array Technologies, installed by RP Construction Services. The tracker technology will keep the solar PV modules following the sun on its course throughout the day, optimizing energy gains and ensuring up to a 20 to 25% increase in energy production over fixed-tilt systems.

RP Construction Services, Inc. Chief Sales Officer Alex Smith said:

“We’re happy to be bringing in local labor to help us build this great project. For decades, people who live nearby will be able to tell their friends and neighbors about how they helped make this project so successful. Thanks to all the great teams involved.”

Once operational, the Pflugerville solar project is expected to power the equivalent of nearly 27,000 Austin-area homes, providing low-cost solar power to Austin Energy’s customers for 15 years.

The project will help cost-effectively reduce emissions and support the utility’s plan to exit from coal-fired power generation by the end of 2022.
