The first of two 125MW parabolic-trough systems at Genesis was taken on line last November, and the second brought into service last month, with all of the electricity generated sold by NextEra to Pacific Gas & Electric under a long-term contract.
The plant – formally known as the Genesis Solar Energy Center – entered development in 2007, and broke ground in 2011 on land owned by the US Bureau of Land Management in Riverside County, California.
