On Friday, Farmers Branch announced its first solar farm in Texas believed to save money for residents and generate more power.
"The agreement with BQ Energy locks in the city's cost for 20 years at a rate comparable to recent averages," Pharmakis said."The farm is expected to generate 13.6 million kWh per year, which is much more than needed to power all city-owned facilities," said City Spokesperson Jeff Brady."It will connect to the Texas power grid and be distributed by a power retailer to be named later.
The new site is located in an industrial area near the intersection of the Bush Turnpike and Valley View Lane. "Our [city] council is committed to fully and quickly enacting the policy changes necessary to produce a more sustainable future for Farmers Branch," Mayor Robert C. Dye said."This solar farm represents a major step in that direction."
