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.

This review process, which takes as long as four years to complete, involves coordinated analyses by federal, state and local stakeholders to identify the potential impacts of a proposed project. On June 29th, 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced "Fast-Track" initiatives for solar projects on lands in the West. Currently, 14 solar projects have received the "Fast-Track" distinction and are undergoing environmental review. The "Fast-Track" initiative goal is to focus BLM efforts on promising projects in order to complete review prior to the December 2010 deadline required to qualify for some funding programs under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
