NRG Solar Farm Comes Online

The solar farm that has been built North of Fort Stockton in Pecos County has started producing electricity and inserting it into the Texas electrical grid (Wilco Sun). NRG Energy purchased the bankrupt project from SunEdison in 2016 and subsequently completed the project. They also negotiated a contract to sell the entire output to the City of Georgetown for the next 25 years.

As is typical in Texas energy projects, NRG declined to share the cost of the project as well as the content of the contract with Georgetown including the price of the electricity being charged to Georgetown.

Also in typical fashion, it was disclosed that portions of the rate are fixed for the 25 year duration of the contract, but, other portions of the rate charged Georgetown may vary.

So much for a fixed and constant rate for Georgetown consumers over the next 25 years.

Where is the transparency in our city government?
