EarthTechling reports that Sempra's large solar PV plant in Arizona will begin construction soon - Mesquite Solar Plant Build Out Begins Soon.
Mesquite 1 is being erected roughly 40 miles west of Phoenix near Arlington, Arizona and is just the first of several phases that will comprise an entire complex anticipated to produce up to 700 megawatts of power.
According to Sempra, this first phase is expected to produce about 150 watts and, once operational, would become the nation’s largest solar power plant. Sempra’s 48 megawatt Copper Mountain Solar facility located in Boulder City, Nevada is currently reported to be among the largest, but the Mesquite project will well overshadow it once complete.
