Feds: Blythe Solar Power Project Fully Operational
The Blythe Solar Power Project, a large photovoltaic facility designed to produce enough energy to power 145,500 homes, is now fully operational, federal officials announced Wednesday.
“Bringing another solar project to full operation on our public lands will accelerate our nation’s transition to a clean energy economy by unlocking renewable resources, creating jobs, lowering costs, and boosting local economies,” U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement.
Haaland called the project another step in the Biden administration’s goal of achieving 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035.
