Late last week, Austin Energy announced that it will bring contracts for two large new solar projects to City Council for approval at the March 20th meeting. The contracts that Austin Energy is poised to sign, after Council approval, are for 150 megawatts of solar power from SunEdison and the price agreed to is nothing short of phenomenal. At less than 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, Austin will have solar energy for the same price as electricity from natural gas generators. These new solar facilities will be completed by 2016, and will provide Austin Energy with power for 25 years.
