East Blackland Solar Project 1 is a 144 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Travis County. East Blackland Solar Project, also known as the Pflugerville Solar Farm, is a 144 MW alternating current solar plant in Travis County, Texas. Recurrent Energy, a Canadian Solar subsidiary, developed it, and CIT led a $162 million financing in August 2020. Austin Energy buys its output under a 15-year power purchase agreement and reported the plant reached commercial operation on July 15, 2021.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at E_BLACK_RN over 365 days (2025-11-10 to 2026-11-09).
The TB2 figure is a price benchmark, not revenue: it values one perfect-foresight cycle per day between the 2 cheapest and 2 dearest hours of each day, gross of round-trip losses, and excludes ancillary services and any physical dispatch constraint. It describes what this node’s price shape was worth over the window — it is not this asset’s realized capture, and no dispatch is assumed or modelled.
