PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 24 (UPI) -- New Jersey-based NRG Energy Inc. announced the acquisition of a 200-acre solar project in California that can meet the energy demands of 17,000 homes.
NRG acquired the largest utility-scale photovoltaic site in California from First Solar Inc. The solar farm covers an area of about 200 acres in Riverside County in southeastern California.
"Successfully transitioning to a low- and no-carbon energy environment means using renewable resources that are located where the demand is," said David Crane, president and chief executive officer of NRG Energy.
The company said it estimates the facility, the Blythe Solar Project, can generate 21 megawatts of power at peak capacity, enough to meet the demands of nearly 17,000 California households.
NRG's solar division said it entered into an engineering, procurement and construction agreement with First Solar for completion and testing of the Blythe Solar Project.
NRG expects testing to be concluded in December with completion planned before the end of the year.
