The solar power facility under construction in August 2013. The Ivanpah Solar power project was built on 6 square miles (16 km 2) of public land in the south central Mojave Desert. [62] Project construction was temporarily halted in the spring of 2011 due to the suspected impacts on desert tortoises. [63]
Over the last 20 years, California has been home to a number of the world's largest solar facilities, many of which are located in the Mojave Desert.In 1991, the 354 MW Solar Energy Generating Systems plant (located in San Bernardino County, California) held the title until being bested by the 392 MW Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, a solar thermal plant located in San Bernardino ...
The project's EPC Contractor was ACS Cobra, which carried out the engineering design, procured the equipment and materials necessary, and then constructed and delivered the facility to Tonopah Solar Energy. The project includes 10,347 heliostats that collect and focus the sun's thermal energy to heat molten salt flowing through an approximately ...
