The project will use horizontal single-axis tracking solar PV technology and is expected to create over 800 construction jobs.
Ted Bardacke, Executive Director at Clean Power Alliance, said: “The clean reliable energy we will receive from the Desert Quartzite facility fits perfectly within our mission to improve the lives and environment of our customers and communities. Our Board has identified solar-plus-storage as being key to our continued growth and a means to further improve reliability for our millions of customers. This project will also create many more green jobs here in Southern California.”
