    Major Solar Projects in the United States Operating, Under Construction, or Under Development Updated March 7, 2016 Overview This list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of solar projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with individual developers. It is not a comprehensive list of all major solar projects under development. This list may be missing smaller projects that are not publicly announced. Particularly, many smaller projects located outside of California that are built on a short time-scale may be underrepresented on this list. Also, SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics and timelines. SEIA will remove a project if it is publicly announced that it has been cancelled. SEIA actively promotes public policy that minimizes regulatory uncertainty and encourages the accelerated deployment of utility-scale solar power. This list includes ground-mounted solar power plants 1 MW and larger.

SEIA actively promotes public policy that minimizes regulatory uncertainty and encourages the accelerated deployment of utility‐scale solar power. This list includes ground‐mounted utility‐scale solar power plants larger than 1 MW that directly feed into the transmission grid. This list does not include large "behind the meter" projects that only serve on‐site load. One exception to this is large projects on military bases that only serve the base (see, for example, Nellis Air Force Base). While utility‐scale solar is a large and growing segment of the U.S. solar industry, cumulative installations for residential and non‐residential (commercial, non‐profit and government) solar total 841 MW and 1,634 MW, respectively.

  • 5.0 Cumulative Scenario and Methodology
    California Flats Solar Project EIR Section 5.0 Cumulative Scenario and Methodology 5.0 CUMULATIVE SCENARIO AND METHODOLOGY 5.1 CEQA REQUIREMENTS According to the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(a)(1), “a cumulative impact consists of an impact which is created as a result of the combination of the project evaluated in the environmental impact report (EIR) together with other projects causing related impacts.” In addition, an EIR must discuss cumulative impacts if the incremental effect of a project, combined with the effects of other projects is “cumulatively considerable” [Section 15130(a)]. Such incremental effects are to be “viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects” [Section 15164(b)(1)]. Together, these projects comprise the cumulative scenario which forms the basis of the cumulative impact analysis. A cumulative impact analysis should highlight past actions that are closely related (either in time or location) to the project being considered, catalogue past projects and discuss how past projects have harmed the environment, and discuss past actions, even if they were undertaken by another agency or another person. Both the severity of impacts and the likelihood of their occurrence are to be reflected in the discussion, “but the discussion need not provide as great detail as is provided for the effects attributable to the project alone. The discussion of cumulative impacts shall be guided by standards of practicality and reasonableness, and shall focus on the cumulative impact to which the identified other projects contribute rather than the attributes of other projects which do not contribute to the cumulative impact” [Section 15130(b)].

Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of solar cells containing a photovoltaic material. Materials presently used for photovoltaics include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide/sulfide. Due to the increased demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has Nellis Solar Power Plant at Nellis Air Force Base advanced considerably in recent years. in the USA. These panels track the sun in one axis. Solar photovoltaics is a sustainable energy source.[1] By the end of 2011, a total of 71.1 GW[2] had been installed, sufficient to generate 85 TWh/year.[] And by end of 2012, the 100 GW installed capacity milestone was achieved.[3] Solar photovoltaics is now, after hydro and wind power, the third most important renewable energy source in terms of globally installed capacity. More than 100 countries use solar PV. Installations may be ground-mounted (and sometimes integrated with farming and grazing) or built into the roof or walls of a building (either building-integrated photovoltaics or simply rooftop).

  • Utility Scale Solar Projects in California: an Initial Survey
    UTILITY SCALE SOLAR PROJECTS IN CALIFORNIA: AN INITIAL SURVEY A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of City and Regional Planning By Meaghan Mroz-Barrett June 2015 2015 Meaghan Mroz-Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Utility Scale Solar Projects in California: An Initial Survey AUTHOR: Meaghan Mroz-Barrett DATE SUBMITTED: June 2015 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Adrienne Greve, Ph.D. Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Michael Boswell, Ph.D. Professor of City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Chris Clark, J.D. Lecturer of City and Regional Planning iii ABSTRACT Utility Scale Solar Projects in California: An Initial Survey Meaghan Mroz-Barrett The lack of a comprehensive database for both concentrating and photovoltaic utility-scale solar power projects, those with a generation capacity of greater than 50 MW, hinders the ability of researchers and policy makers to examine the state of solar development in the state of California. This research project seeks to fill this gap in understanding by creating a database of proposed and developed projects in order to examine trends in proposals, process time, approvals, and construction starts. Existing literature was evaluated to determine potential factors for project success in approval and construction. Upon determination of these factors, the project database was developed through use of publicly available data and extensive Internet searches of planning documents, industry releases, and articles on existing and proposed projects. The completed database, containing eighty projects, was analyzed to provide an initial look at the overall state of solar project development in California.

    2. Project Description 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 2.1.1. Overview of Westlands Solar Park and WSP Gen-Tie Corridors Plan The overall project covered by this EIR includes two main elements, consisting of: 1) the Westlands Solar Park (“WSP”) Master Plan, which is an overall plan of development for solar generating facilities within WSP; and 2) the Westlands Solar Park Generation-Interconnection Tie-Line Corridors Plan (“WSP Gen-Tie Corridors Plan”), which is the route plan for high-voltage transmission corridors to provide interconnection and capacity for delivery of WSP-generated power to the State electrical grid at Gates Substation. These main project elements are interrelated and mutually supportive, and for the sake of brevity are also referred to as the Westlands Solar Park and WSP Gen-Tie Corridors. The main plan elements and their settings are shown in Figures PD-1 and PD-2 and are briefly described below. 1) Westlands Solar Park (WSP) Master Plan – The WSP Master Plan is intended to serve as the planning framework for a series of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generating facilities on about 21,000 acres in west-central Kings County, generally located south of SR-198, west of SR-41 and the Kings River, and east of the Fresno County Line. The combined generating capacity of WSP solar projects is estimated to be 2,000 MW, although the final power output could increase with improved solar PV module efficiency over the course of the WSP buildout period. The solar PV projects developed within WSP would have varying generating capacities, with the power output from the solar facilities ranging up to about 250 MW.
