NRG
Solar and MidAmerican Solar have completed their 290 MW Agua Caliente PV facility in
Arizona.
Located
on 2,400 (971.2 hectares) of land between Yuma and Phoenix, the plant, one of
the biggest PV installations in the
world, can power 230,000 homes at peak capacity. Pacific Gas & Electric
Company (PG&E) will purchase electricity generated by the station under a
25-year power purchase agreement.
Designed
and constructed by First Solar, the installation uses the company’s advanced
thin-film photovoltaic modules. First Solar will also operate and maintain the
facility for NRG and MidAmerican Solar.
The project, which created 400 jobs during construction, received a $967 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office.
Agua Caliente is the largest of 10 operational utility-scale PV facilities in three states in which NRG Solar, a subsidiary of energy giant NRG Energy, holds a stake.

"Large-scale
utility accomplishments, like our Agua Caliente project, raise the bar in terms
of our clean-energy technology and production," said NRG Solar President Tom
Doyle.
"Proving
that we can build both the world’s largest solar thermal and now one of the
world’s largest solar photovoltaic facilities advances NRG’s mission to reshape
the energy landscape that is incredibly beneficial to both the economy and in
how we produce and consume energy," Doyle added.
