one of the nation’s largest solar + storage projects

[Jay McKinsey + 1,489]

What would be the among the largest solar+storage installation in the country has come one step closer to actualization, with 8minute Solar Energy coming to terms with Clean Power Alliance on a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for 8minute’s planned Rexford 1 Solar & Storage Center in Tulare County, California.

This project is a behemoth, clocking in at 400 MW of solar and 180 MW/540 MWh of energy storage. The project would be noteworthy even if it were just a storage installation, as it is larger than any installation currently operating and is among the largest planned to come on-line in the near future.

The installation will be constructed on private farmland in Tulare County, with construction expected to begin in early 2022. Along with 400 construction jobs, the project is expected to also create 1,000 indirect jobs and, over the course of its life, is anticipated to contribute more than $200 million to the local economy.
