Boulder Solar

The 100 MW Boulder Solar 1 began construction on 600 acres in December 2015, and went online in mid-December 2016.

[4] It has an expected annual production of about 280 GWh and will provide Boulder City with $20 million in land lease payments over the 20-year term.

Along with geothermal power and numerous smaller solar energy installations throughout the city, Boulder Solar 1 allowed Las Vegas to operate all municipal services with renewable energy sources starting at the end of 2016.

[3] The 50 MW Boulder Solar 2, also constructed by SunPower, entered service in January 2017 with an expected annual production of 140 GWh.

[9] Apple Inc. motivated this construction phase of the project through the participation of its northern Nevada data centers in the NV GreenEnergy Rider opportunity.
