By Vic Kolenc - NRG Energy's new solar plant in Santa Teresa has been performing well in its first two weeks of operation. And the New Jersey company, along with El Paso Electric, which buys the plant's power, is studying the possibilities of adding more solar production in that area. "It's been performing well, performing to plan," Tim Hemig, vice president of development for NRG Solar, said last week. NRG Solar is the California-based subsidiary of NRG Energy, one of the nation's largest developers and operators of power plants. "We look forward to expanding the facility" in the future, Hemig said. "It's designed for expansion. We could double the size with the (additional) acreage we have available." The Roadrunner Solar Generating Facility is tucked into 210 acres of slightly rolling desert near the Santa Teresa port of entry. A chain-link fence topped with barbed wire surrounds 340,000 photovoltaic solar panels that can produce up to 20 megawatts of electricity. That's enough power to supply 6,600 homes in El Paso Electric's system.
