As part of the agreement with CPS Energy, OCI Solar Power has committed to bring over 800 long-term jobs to the San Antonio area.
"The Alamo 6 project will be built using components that are made exclusively in San Antonio," says SH Yoon, President and CEO of OCI Solar Power. "Our agreement with CPS Energy demonstrates the economic development capacity that we bring to the communities we serve. We are excited to begin construction on what will be the largest solar plant in Texas."
The plant will be developed, owned and operated by OCI Solar Power and will feature San Antonio-made products from the companys affiliates, including a dual-axis tracker system from Sun Action Trackers and solar modules from Mission Solar Energy. Inverters will be supplied by KACO new energy, also located in San Antonio. OCI Solar Power has contracted with Mortenson Construction to construct the project.
"The size of these farms symbolize our commitment to solar power and renewable energy development," says Cris Eugster, Group Executive Vice President and Chief Generation & Strategy Officer of CPS Energy.
