EDF Renewables signs PPA with BASF for Texas solar project Email Chemicals company BASF has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with EDF Renewables North America to acquire 55MWac/73MWdc of energy from a solar plant in Texas, US. The Space City Solar project will be located in Wharton County, Texas, and will use bifacial solar PV modules. The Louise Independent School District, which is leasing land for the project’s development, could earn US$1.8 million in tax revenue in the project’s first year of operation if the district enacts a state-specific tax relief clause by the end of 2020. The project is also expected to create US$30 million in tax revenue for Wharton County entities.
