Developer Terra-Gen and contractor Mortenson have agreed to go ahead with what they claim is the world's largest standalone solar-plus-storage project in Kern County, California, US.
Two of California’s Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with 8minute Solar Energy for a 250MW solar PV plant with 150MWh of battery storage.
Summer wildfires across the West Coast of the US have significantly impacted the output of solar PV projects in the region with smoke cover reducing irradiance levels, according to environmental and industrial measurement firm Vaisala.
