Technology infrastructure company Switch and asset management firm Capital Dynamics have announced the groundbreaking of three developments in Nevada, one of which is claimed to be the largest behind-the-meter solar project in the world.
NV Energy has announced plans to build three solar parks and a large-scale transmission line project in Nevada, as it looks to transform the state’s clean energy landscape.
Gemini Solar + Battery Storage Project, approved for construction by the US Department of Interior earlier this month, will be managed by a newly-launched subsidiary of investor Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners.
‘Largest solar project in US history’ near Las Vegas will feature 380MW / 1,400MWh battery element, with green power set to flow to Warren Buffett’s NV Energy under 25-year PPA.
Project contracted to supply power to NV Energy will be built and operated by an Indigenous workforce and marks the third joint solar collaboration for both firms.
