A German energy giant dedicated its first solar-energy installations in the U.S. on Monday under sunny skies in Tucson.
The 10-megawatt (AC) Valencia Solar photovoltaic project was built to serve Tucson Electric Power Co. by E.On Climate & Renewables, part of one of Europe’s biggest investor-owned utilities.
On Monday, officials of TEP and E.On dedicated the array at East Valencia and South Craycroft roads, as well as a 5-MW installation that has been online at the University of Arizona Science and Technology Park on South Rita Road since the end of 2012.
