Commissioners hear about proposed $200 million solar project in Texas
In Texas, The Herald Banner reported that the Hunt County Commissioners Court heard a preliminary proposal for the construction of a solar power generation facility. Jose Beceiro, an executive at Kroll LLC, offered information on what is being referred to as Project Panther. Kroll is helping to develop the project on behalf of a company identified as General Solar, which wants to create a 151 MW solar power generation facility. “They are considering multiple sites across the state of Texas,” Beceiro said. “The project site is on approximately 700 acres located northwest of downtown Greenville,” Beceiro added. Construction could begin in the first quarter of 2024, and commercial operations could commence about one year later, according to the report. “The proposed capital investment for this project would be a minimum of $208 million,” he said, with at least 50 construction jobs and two full-time jobs upon completion.
