“This concentrated solar energy project creates jobs, avoids greenhouse gas emissions and helps strengthen our nation’s renewable energy future,” said Secretary Chu.
Another large-scale concentrating solar thermal project is underway in the United States thanks to strong financial support from the Federal Government.
Upon completion, SolarReserve’s 110 MW Crescent Dunes project will be the largest molten salt power tower project in the world and will provide electricity to approximately 75,000 homes during peak electricity periods.
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the offer of a conditional commitment for a $737 million loan guarantee to support a 110 megawatt molten salt concentrating solar power (CSP) tower generating facility.
California Solar Project Estimated to Create Over 1,000 Jobs and Avoid Over 710,000 Tons of Carbon Dioxide Annually.
