Webberville Solar Project Dedicated

January 6, 2012

The Austin City Council, Austin Energy and state officials were among those attending a dedication for the Webberville 30 MW solar project today.

It is the largest solar installation in Texas and among the largest in the country.  The project covers almost 400 acres with more than 127,000 solar panels and should generate power sufficient for about 5,000 homes annually.

Austin Energy will purchase all power produced by the facility for 25 years. The $100 million solar farm is privately owned and operated.
