GEMINI SOLAR PROJECT

CAPACITY: 710MWDC LOCATION: ANDREWS COUNTY, TEXAS COMPLETED: 2021 DEVELOPER: PRIMERGY SOLAR
Gemini Solar Project currently holds the title of the largest operational solar farm in the US. Developed by Primergy approximately 25 miles northeast of Las Vegas, the vast installation stretches across more than 7,000 acres of the Mojave Desert and represents one of the most significant renewable energy investments ever undertaken in North America. The facility is expected to supply enough electricity to meet around 10 % of Nevada’ s peak power demand, underlining its importance to the state’ s energy system.
Only a decade ago, projects approaching one gigawatt of solar capacity seemed almost unimaginable. Today, Gemini has set a new benchmark for utility-scale renewable energy in the US, demonstrating how rapidly the sector continues to grow as developers race to meet rising electricity demand with cleaner sources of power.
