Completed

A 386 MW solar thermal power plant near the California/Nevada border that began operation in 2014. It uses mirrors to focus sunlight to a central tower to generate steam and drive turbines for electricity generation. It was approved in September 2010 and was built with solar thermal technology, which was relatively expensive compared to photovoltaic solar.
