Description
The project is being developed by 300MS 8me and is currently owned by 8minute Solar Energy.
Southern Bighorn Solar PV Park is a ground-mounted solar project.
The project is expected to generate 1,000,000MWh electricity and supply enough clean energy to power 180,000 households. The project is expected to offset 600,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is expected to be around $512.05m.
Development Status
The project construction is expected to commence from 2022. Subsequent to that it will enter into commercial operation by September 2023.
Power Purchase Agreement
The power generated from the project will be sold to NV Energy under a power purchase agreement for a period of 25 years. The offtake capacity is expected to be 300MW.
Methodology
