(RTTNews) - Duke Energy Renewables, a subsidiary of Duke Energy (DUK), said that it has acquired the 144-megawatt Pflugerville Solar project from Recurrent Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ).

The project is under construction in Travis County, Texas, and is expected to achieve commercial operation in mid-2021. The energy generated from the Pflugerville Solar project will be sold to Austin Energy under a 15-year power purchase agreement.
