Largest solar farm in Texas activated

The largest solar farm in America is finally providing electricity after the ribbon cutting ceremony in Texas a few days ago.

The 30-megawatt solar power plant is expected to produce more than 61 million kWh of clean solar energy in the first year of operation alone.

Lee Leffingwell, Mayor of Austin said: "The City of Austin is proud to support a project that reduces emission levels in our community, provides energy during hot summer days when it is needed most and promotes new technologies that future generations can benefit from."

The solar project is expected to generate more than 1.4 billion kWh of clean, renewable energy over 25 years.
