World’s largest thermal solar plant could be coming to Nevada

SolarReserve wants to follow the success of its Crescent Dunes facility with a new solar power plant elsewhere in Nevada.

The new plant would cost about $5 billion to build and would deliver enough power for 1 million homes – the same amount of energy generated by the Hoover Dam.

At the moment, SolarReserve is looking at two potential sites to house the Sandstone plant, both on federal land in Nye County.
