A solar project.

Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has announced plans to construct 690MW Gemini Solar Project on 44,000-acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) supervised property, which is around 25 miles northeast of downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.

Claimed to be one of the largest solar projects in the state once operational, the Gemini Solar Project will feature solar photovoltaics on 7,100 acres, along with options to include batteries, generating low-cost renewable power for power consumers in both Nevada and California.

Funding for the construction of the project will come from Quinbrook while its partner Arevia Power will oversee the final development and construction phases.

This project will feature two nearby interconnection positions.

The first phase of 440MW will connect to NV Energy’s Crystal Substation through a 230kV AC interconnection. It will produce renewable power for the local NVE energy grid.

The second phase of 250MW will be connected to the South Crystal Substation through a 525kv interconnection to cater to power requirements of the residents of California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Quinbrook senior managing director Jeff Hunter said: “A project of this scale will have a very positive impact on the state of Nevada and Las Vegas in particular, and we are grateful for the assistance and cooperation received from the Bureau of Land Management to date.

“Gemini is a uniquely positioned project in close proximity to both Las Vegas and export connections to California and Arizona. Solar energy is on the rise in Nevada and is now being offered at historic low prices which is great news for retail consumers and local industry.  We share the state’s commitment to minimising the impact on Nevada’s land, water, and wildlife as renewable energy facilities are incorporated.”

The project is estimated to add up to $463m in economic development value to the state economy, and is expected to generate around 3,800 jobs.
