Power generation company NRG Energy Inc., in Princeton, said Monday it acquired the Blythe Solar Project, in California.

NRG made the acquisition through NRG Solar LLC. The Blythe project is a 21-megawatt solar power plant expected to go online by year’s end.

NRG acquired the solar power plant from First Solar Inc., in Tempe, Ariz. The Blythe plant is expected to have the capacity to meet the energy needs of some 17,000 homes, according to NRG. The solar power plant includes 350,000 solar modules spread across 200 acres.

NRG said it plans to build, finance and operate a portfolio of solar power assets through NRG Solar. The company plans to build commercial-scale solar thermal generation plants in New Mexico and California, with the first expected to begin operation in 2011.
