Switch and Capital Dynamics Plan US Record-Capacity Solar Project in Nevada (FB)
Data center provider Switch will help clean energy investor Capital Dynamics build a large solar project in Nevada, promising future consumers a substantially lower solar energy rate than offered by NV Energy, the utility that serves a big portion of the state. The project is called Gigawatt 1. Its planned generation capacity is 1,000MW, which would make it the largest solar energy project in the US. Las Vegas-based Switch will be the project’s “anchor” customer, and several of its data center clients, whose names were not disclosed, have signed up as well.
