World’s Largest Solar Power Plant To Be Built in Nevada Desert lweb.es/f1602 10.26.2016
California company SolarReserve plans to build the largest solar power plant in the world on a 25 square-mile plot in the Nevada Desert. The 10-tower concentrated solar array known as “Sandstone Energy X” will produce enough electricity to power around 1 million homes, producing between 1,500 and 2,000 megawatts of electricity, comparable to a nuclear power plant or the Hoover Dam. The project is designed to store heat without backup fuels or batteries to deliver electricity even in darkness, with zero emissions, little water use and no hazardous waste.
