The 92-megawatt solar In our schools thermal plant could produce enough electricity to power 74,000 homes, far exceeding the size of other solar plants in the United States. The largest solar thermal plant in operation now is about 70 megawatts, said Dave Knox, a spokesman Sounds high-tech for New Jersey-based NRG Energy, the company building and running the facility. “This is larger than anything in existence in America so far today,” he said. The plant was announced at a time when communities around the country are draw- ing up plans for solar and other alternative energy projects, especially with millions of dol- lars in stimulus money avail- able. The plant — to be called the Suntower — will be built on 450 acres of private land near the Santa Teresa port of entry in far southern New Mexico near El Paso, Texas. It will be similar in many respects to a steam plant, using the sun instead of fossil fuel to generate steam and produce electricity, said Michael Lieb- elson, president of NRG and chief of development for its low-carbon technologies.
