HOUSTON: The utility-scale solar-power developer says the project will be built on a six-square-mile site in Lincoln County, Nevada, near existing power-transmission lines. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the project should be ready by 2012. "With abundant sun and access to key markets in Nevada and California, the Coyote Springs site is an ideal location to develop clean, reliable and low-cost solar-thermal energy," says Tom Doyle, executive vice-president of project development for BrightSource Energy.
