The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). [8]
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a 386-megawatt project consisting of three solar concentrating thermal power plants located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The project was certified by the CEC on September 22, 2010 and began commercial operation in December 30, 2013.
Ivanpah uses power tower solar thermal technology to generate power by creating high-temperature steam to drive a conventional steam turbine. Mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight and create steam, which is then converted to electricity.
Created through the joint effort of NRG, Google, and BrightSource Energy, Ivanpah produces enough clean, renewable electricity to power 140,000 homes. At the time, Ivanpah nearly doubled the amount of commercial solar thermal energy generated in the United States.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is the United States’ largest CSP plant. Located in California's Mojave Desert, the plant can produce 392 megawatts (MW) of electricity—enough to power more than 85,000 homes—using 173,500 heliostats, each built with two mirrors that focus sunlight onto three solar power towers.
The 3,500-acre Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System generates up to 400 megawatts of solar energy, which is enough to power 140,000 homes.
This page provides information on Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System CSP project, a concentrating solar power (CSP) project, with data organized by background, participants, and power plant configuration.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS) is located in San Bernardino County of California’s Mojave Desert in the US. With an installed capacity of 377MW, it is the biggest solar thermal project in the world. It is the first large-scale solar thermal project in California in two decades. The project was developed by a start-up ...
WASHINGTON, DC – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today approved the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, the first large-scale solar energy project on U.S. public lands to use "power tower" technology.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System consists of three units, delivering power to residents of California via PG&E and Southern California Edison. LOCATION : Mojave Desert, California, USA CAPACITY : 377 MW total (3 units)
