Sector: Solar • Location: California, United States
Source: EADaily
The Ayvanpa solar power plant, the most expensive solar facility in the US, is set to close due to unprofitability. Built at a cost of $2.2 billion, it will cease operations in early 2026 after failing to compete with newer photovoltaic systems. The plant, which has a capacity of 386 MW, was launched in 2013 and has produced enough electricity to power 140,000 homes.
