Washington Gas Energy Systems signed a contract with Tucson Electric Power (TEP) to build, own and operate a 1-MW Cogenra Solar array that will provide renewable energy to the utility in Tucson, Ariz. The installation, awarded through a previous TEP RFP process, will consist of ground-mounted Cogenra T14 systems and will be constructed within the University of Arizona’s Science & Technology Park. TEP will purchase output under a 20-year contract. The project is expected to be completed in April 2014.
