Agua Caliente Solar Project

The Agua Caliente Solar Project is a 290 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station, built in Yuma County, Arizona using 5.2 million cadmium telluride modules made by the U.S. thin-film manufacturer First Solar.

It was the largest solar facility in the world when the project was commissioned in April 2014.

[8] In August 2011, the Department of Energy finalized a $967 million loan guarantee for the project.

The project sponsor, NRG Solar, estimated the photovoltaic generation facility would fund approximately 400 construction jobs and 16 full-time operating jobs, and would become one of the largest plants of its kind in the world when completed.
