The Ivanpah system consists of three solar thermal power plants on 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) of public land near the California–Nevada border in the Southwestern United States. [17] Initially it was planned with 440 MW gross on 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) of land, but then downgraded by 12%. It is near Interstate 15 and north of Ivanpah, California. [18]

Coal generated 16% of electricity in the United States in 2023, [1] an amount less than that from renewable energy or nuclear power, [2] [3] and about half of that generated by natural gas plants. Coal was 17% of generating capacity. [4] Between 2010 and May 2019, 290 coal power plants, representing 40% of the U.S. coal generating capacity, closed.
The power plant, which cost $65 million, [6] was named for Ezra F. Scattergood, first chief electric engineer of the Los Angeles municipal power system. [7] [8] Units 1 and 2 were brought online in 1958 and 1959, respectively; Unit 3 came online in 1974 with a potential 460 MW output. [2] [1]
