Duke Energy Generation Services (DEGS) has purchased the 14 megawatts Blue Wing Solar Project, marking the Charlotte, N.C. company’s entry into the solar generation business.
DEGS is buying the project from the U.S. unit of juwi Solar, the German developer.
The 139-acre project, located near San Antonio, Texas, is expected to go live at the end of the year, according to DEGS.
Blue Wing’s total output is backed by a 30-year power purchase agreement with San Antonio-based CPS Energy.
Back in October DEGS forged a partnership with China’s ENN Group to grow its solar generation portfolio. DEGS currently generates 733 megawatts of wind power.
