Hecate Energy, El Paso Electric sign PPA for 100 MW Santa Teresa solar project in Dona Ana County
Hecate Energy's proposed 100 MW Santa Teresa solar project has been selected by El Paso Electric Company (EPE) as part of a 350 MW solar and storage Request for Proposals (RFP) process designed to add new clean resources to the EPE system. Pending necessary regulatory approvals, the project—to be constructed in Santa Teresa, New Mexico is anticipated to be in service by May 2022.
EPE and Hecate have entered into long-term purchase power agreement for the output from the project. The added generation resources will help EPE meet the 2022-2023 summer peak season and replace less efficient gas-fired generation as older units are retired.
Santa Teresa solar is projected to supply enough electricity to power approximately 40,000 homes with emission-free electricity.
