Summary:
I had the pleasure of giving brief remarks at the formal ribbon cutting of the 35 megawatt Avalon Solar facility near Sahuarita on Friday [photo credit, TEP]. The plant will reach 56 MW later this year, making it the largest solar resource in Tucson Electric Power's territory. The site is on 500 acres of Asarco disturbed lands but not lands used directly in mining. The Avalon solar projectContent analysis:
