Via Solar Buzzzzzzz, Arizona Public Service Co. is going to a get a huge 280 megawatt concentrating solar power (CSP) plant outside of Phoenix. The construction of the power plant will create about 1,500 jobs and the plant will take about "85 highly-skilled technicians" to operate it. While operating at capacity it can serve about 70,000 customers.
CPS is not photovoltaic but rather concentrates the sun's heat on a heat transfer fluid which then turns to steam and turns the plant's turbines. Clean energy all of the way. I am happy for Phoenix and I sure hope Denver will get one of those.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
