Tessera project in Marfa dead?

A report in the San Antonio Express-News states that Tessera has withdrawn from its agreement to provide solar energy credits to CPS Energy, of San Antonio, because it was not able to obtain financing.

"The project is not dead, but the purchase power agreement is no longer in place, " Janette Coates, a Tessera spokeswoman, told the Express-News.

The project was to have broken ground this summer, but preparation work at the site just east of the city has not begun. The company, for example, had not been working with AEP, which operates the power station Tessera would connect to, on the schedule the company had predicted.

The project sparked both strong support and opposition in Marfa and Far West Texas. Check back to this site for updates and in this week's edition of The Big Bend Sentinel for a comprehensive account of where things stand.
