Catalina Solar Project

The Catalina Solar Project is a 143.2 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station[1] located near Bakersfield, Kern County, California, owned by enXco, an EDF Énergies Nouvelles Company.

Construction began in May, 2012 and was fully completed in August, 2013.

[1] Phase 1 had a nameplate capacity of 60 MW and was connected to the grid in December, 2012. enXco has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) for the production from the station.
