A German company will make its first foray into the Texas solar industry with a 100 megawatt farm in West Texas.

E.ON said Tuesday its West of the Pecos solar project will be located in Reeves County west of Midland-Odessa and should come online by 2020. The project is expected to provide for 700 jobs and consist of more than 350,000 photovoltaic cells.

No cost estimate was given for the project.

The project will be E.ON's first solar project in Texas, but not in the U.S. The company operates more than 3,600 megawatts of wind and solar generation across the U.S., including wind projects in Illinois and Texas, solar projects in Arizona, and battery storage in Texas and Arizona.

The announcement comes a day after Canadian investment firm Fengate said it was buying 9 megawatts of solar projects from Texas solar developer PowerFin Partners and investing $100 million into the company's Texas solar pipeline.

NRG Energy, the largest seller of electricity in Houston, said it is working with the California company Cypress Creek Renewables to provide 25 megawatts of solar projects for its customers.

On June 1, Irving's Vistra Energy announced its 180-megawatt Upton 2 solar farm had begun operations, making it the largest solar plant in Texas.
