Huge Solar Plant Comes To Santa Rosa Area
by John Weckerle
Santa Rosa is usually a little east of our coverage area, but this news is big enough for New Mexico Central. As reported in the Albuquerque Journal, GA-Solar, a subsidiary of Corporación Gestamp, will invest $1 billion in a 2,500 acre photovoltaic array with a capacity of up to 300 megawatts (MW). According to the Journal article, the project will temporarily employ 300 workers during construction, with 75 permanent jobs being created for the plant’s operations.
