Xcel Seeks Bids on World's Biggest Solar Project
Wow. This is awesome. An RFP for a 600 megawatt solar utility plant has been released by Xcel energy with responses due April 10. Six hundred megawatt's of electricity can supply about 150,000 homes. Kudos to Xcel for going big. I hope we start seeing more of these utility-scale renewable energy plants in the coming decade.
