"The commissioning of a solar project and a wind farm demonstrates E.ON’s capability to work successfully with a range of technologies."

The second project is a solar facility located in southern parts of Arizona at the US Army Fort Huachuca.

E.ON has offered construction management and supply chain services for the project, which is claimed to be the largest solar project built on a US Department of Defense military installation.

The generated power from the project will be supplied to the army fort under a long-term supply contract. TEP will be the owner of the facility and will be responsible for its operations.

E.ON renewables unit CEO Eckhardt Rümmler said: "The commissioning of a solar project and a wind farm demonstrates our capability to work successfully with a range of technologies.

"It is a major advantage that E.ON is able to handle different regimes and partners globally."
