Blythe Solar Power Plant Project Receives Approval From California Energy Commission![]() Solar Trust of America has announced that its project development subsidiary, Solar Millennium, LLC, has received unanimous approval from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to build and operate its Blythe Solar Power Project in Riverside County, which would be the largest Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) facility in the world. Combined, the four 250 MW plants will deliver 1,000 MW of nom ... more Largest Ground-Mounted Solar PV Installations In US Northwest ![]() enXco and Portland General Electric have entered into two power purchase agreements for solar photovoltaic installations to be located in the Willamette Valley near Salem, Oregon. The two installations will combine for a total of 2.84 MW (dc) of generating capacity providing power for approximately 2,300 homes at peak production. "These agreements with enXco are part of our strategy to hel ... more Mimicking Nature, Water-Based Artificial Leaf Produces Electricity ![]() A team led by a North Carolina State University researcher has shown that water-gel-based solar devices - "artificial leaves" - can act like solar cells to produce electricity. The findings prove the concept for making solar cells that more closely mimic nature. They also have the potential to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly than the current standard-bearer: silicon-based sol ... more |
