The Ivanpah Solar Energy Generating System has been opened in California
The Ivanpah Solar Energy Generating System, the world’s largest concentrating solar power plant, has been opened in California. Power from the 392 MW plant will be sold under long-term power purchase agreements to Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison Company.
The project was a joint effort by NRG, Google and BrightSource Energy, and Bechtel served as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor. It received a $1.6bn loan from the US Department of Energy.
This overhead shot is of the second of three units that make up the power plant.
