MetLife and Longsol Holdings US advised that they had mutually bought SunEdison’s 30MW Webberville, Texas solar project, for an undisclosed amount, in December 2011. The project was activated in December 2011 and is said to be the largest active solar plant in Texas. Constructed by RES Americas, who will also operate and maintain the project for the next five years, the solar farm is anticipated to produce over 1.4 billion kWh of electricity over 25 years.

Upon RES America’s five-year O&M commitment ending, SunEdison will take over the O&M for the 30MW solar farm for 20 years. The companies note that the utility-scale project was financed through a 25-year solar PPA with Austin Energy, which will buy the energy and environmental rewards from the project at a fixed rate over the life of the installation.
