CPS names two firms in mega-solar project - San Antonio Express-News:
Under a bright winter sun Wednesday, CPS Energy CEO Doyle Beneby introduced the companies selected to build one of the country's largest solar projects and a solar manufacturing plant in San Antonio, an investment of more than $100 million.
OCI Solar Power, whose parent is a South Korean chemical company, will build the solar farms using panels from a factory to be built here by Nexolon, another South Korean firm with close ties to OCI and a builder of solar cell components.
Both companies will open headquarters in San Antonio, part of their larger commitment to bring at least 800 jobs to town with a $38 million to $40 million payroll.
Mayor Julián Castro said at a news conference that the average pay would be $47,000.
That does not include the temporary construction jobs that will be created to build the multiple solar farms, most of which will be in CPS Energy's service territory.
Together, they will generate 400 megawatts of zero-emission electricity — enough to power 80,000 homes.
