The US’s largest co-located solar + battery storage project is online
The Gemini Solar + Storage project in Nevada – the US’s largest co-located solar + battery energy storage system – is now operational.
The Gemini project, which sits on federal land in Clark County, Nevada, can power approximately 10% of Nevada’s peak power demand. NV Energy signed a 25-year power purchase agreement for the energy produced by the plant.
The enormous 690-megawatt (MW) project, which Primergy Solar and Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners developed, features 1.8 million bifacial solar panels. The solar arrays are co-located with 380 MW of four-hour battery storage to provide 1,400 MWh of clean power after the sun sets.
The project’s DC-coupled storage configuration enables the battery storage to charge directly from the solar panels onsite, increasing efficiency.
