An “unbelievable appetite for clean energy” is pushing the developer of Gemini, the US’s largest co-located solar-plus-storage power plant, to pursue opportunities of a similar scale.
Utility NV Energy has received state regulatory approval of a group of PPAs with a cumulative storage capacity exceeding 1GW as part of the investor-owned utility’s (IOU’s) 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
The US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has progressed nine hybrid solar and storage facilities located across the states of Nevada and Arizona.
Project owners Quinbrook and Primergy have put their 1.4GWh Gemini solar-plus-storage project in Nevada online, claiming it is the largest such project in the US.
EDF Renewables North America has signed a PPA with California utility Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) for part of the offtake of a solar-plus-storage project in neighbouring Nevada with a 780MWh BESS.
