Californian CSP scales up to GW size

摘要

Solar power plants are usually measured in MW, but not so in California, where two firms with different types of solar generating technology plan to build more than 3 GW of installed capacity. The power would be supplied to three local utilities within the next five years at a cost that could run to more than $6 billion. Both developers hope to use federal stimulus money to finance what will be the largest solar projects in the world.
