Phoenix Solar to build power plant for Duke Energy

San Ramon, USA / Sulzemoos, Germany - Phoenix Solar Inc., the San Ramon, California, based subsidiary of the photovoltaic system integrator Phoenix Solar AG announced it has signed an agreement for the full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for a 32.1 MWp dc (23 MW ac) ground mounted solar photovoltaic system in Bladen County in North Carolina.

The project will be financed and owned by Duke Energy, which earlier this year issued a 300 MW (ac) Request For Proposals (RFP). Under the RFP Duke Energy solicited offers to either buy electricity via power purchase agreements or purchase power plants directly. The Fayetteville project was developed by Tangent Energy who has partnered with Phoenix Solar to offer Duke Energy a complete turn-key solution in the context of the RFP. Under the terms of the agreement, Phoenix Solar will deliver engineering services, procure components and construct the entire PV facility. Onsite construction activities are expected to start in early 2015.
