SunEdison, Inc. (Belmont, California, U.S.) on May 27th, 2015 announced the successful completion and interconnection of the South Milford solar photovoltaic (PV) facility in Milford, Utah.
The 3.8 megawatt DC facility is now the largest operating PV power plant in Utah. TerraForm Power acquired the solar power plant from its Call Right Projects List.
PacifiCorp, an electric utility that serves 1.8 million customers in six western states, will purchase the solar power according to its obligation under the federal Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act.
The purchase agreements and the price of the electricity were approved by the Utah Public Service Commission to ensure a fair price for PacifiCorp customers.
“We're proud to announce the completion of Utah's largest solar power plant,” said SunEdison Executive Vice President of Americas and EMEA, Paul Gaynor.
“This is the first of many SunEdison projects to come online in Utah, and SunEdison is leading the way with more than 700 megawatts of solar projects planned for delivery over the next 18 months.”
20-year PPA
The South Milford plant is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 500 homes. PacifiCorp will purchase the electricity via a SunEdison 20-year power purchase agreement, which enables customers to lock-in low priced electricity at long term predictable prices.
Operation and maintenance of the solar power plant will be performed by SunEdison Services, which provides global 24/7 asset management, monitoring and reporting services.
