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.
In filings with Nevada's Public Utilities Commission, the utility has outlined plans to power an under-construction Google data centre with solar backed by energy storage, in a deal that has the potential to break the corporate PV/battery record.
A partnership comprised of EDP Renewables and ConnectGen has signed off on a deal with First Solar to acquire three PV projects with a combined installed generation capacity of 278MW.
Three green-lit projects in South Nevada are set to come online by 2024 and will be separately developed by EDF, 8minute and a Quinbrook-Arevia partnership.
SunPower has installed 2.6MW of PV projects at eight Whole Foods Market locations across both California and Nevada, with one site combining with an integrated storage system.
Utility turns to Quinbrook, Arevia, 8minute, EDF to deploy 1.2GW of PV and 590MW of batteries across three projects, with plans to bring all online by 2023.
