Sempra Generation, San Diego, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy has completed a 10-megawatt photovoltaic power-generation facility adjacent to its existing 480-megawatt El Dorado Energy power plant near Boulder City, Nev., about 40 miles southeast of Las Vegas. The El Dorado Energy Solar project is the largest operational thin-film, solar-power project in North America. Construction began in July 2008, and involved the installation of more than 167,000 solar modules on 80 acres of desert property designated as a renewable energy zone and leased from Boulder City. At peak production El Dorado Energy Solar will generate enough electricity to power approximately 6,400 homes. For more information on this installation, click here. |
