Biggest Solar Farm Switching to Panels Only Before Purchase
This article is for subscribers only.
Solar Trust of America LLC asked regulators for permission to follow through on previously announced plans to use photovoltaic panels at its 1,000-megawatt Blythe solar farm, not the originally planned solar-thermal system, before the California project is sold to NextEra Energy Inc.
The switch is described in a petition filed by Solar Trust’s Palo Verde Solar I unit and posted today on the California Energy Commission’s website. If approved, construction may begin as soon as April on what would be the world’s largest solar farm.
