Solar energy park

There is a new project, scheduled to begin construction in 2010, with more than 1000 MegaWatt! Probably the biggest solar plant project, in paper, that would create more than 300 jobs in San Luis Valley.

One more project to add up to the global race to build the largest, most capable, solar power plant in the world.

Presently ongoing construction is the world's biggest, 100megawatt Chinese solar power plant, to be finished before 2010.

In the news:

A New York startup with local roots will announce plans today to build the world's largest solar energy park in the San Luis Valley.

The $2 billion park, christened SolarDunes by developer SkyFuel, would have a total capacity of 1,000 megawatts - enough electricity for more than 300,000 homes and businesses along the power-hungry Front Range.
