The McCoy Solar Energy Project is a 250 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power plant near the city of Blythe in Riverside County, California.

The construction uses CdTe thin film panels from First Solar, and the output is being sold to Southern California Edison under a power purchase agreement.

The 550MW Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is located approximately 40miles west in Riverside County.

[4] The project was initially proposed in early 2013 for a final capacity of 750MW, making it potentially one of the world's largest solar plants.

[5][6] The first construction phase of 250MW started generating energy in August 2015, and reached its full capacity in June 2016.
