A West Texas solar project providing CPS Energy with 180 megawatts of clean energy has commenced operation, capable of powering 45,000 homes on a hot summer day. The Tierra Bonita solar project in Pecos County was developed by Ashtrom Renewable Energy and confirmed operational by CPS Energy in July, following a 20-year deal from 2022 under the FlexPower Bundle initiative aiming to diversify the utility's generation mix.
The Tierra Bonita solar farm received approval for commercial operation ahead of schedule, with CPS Energy securing about 60% of the total electricity generated. Additionally, CPS Energy is set to purchase an additional 100 MW of solar energy from the upcoming El Patrimonio solar project, complemented by community investments from Ashtrom Renewable Energy, including student scholarships and a mentorship program for local students.
