Genesis Solar Energy Project

Overview - Proposed Site

Located in Riverside County, 20 miles west of Blythe, Calif. To be built, owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEraTM Energy Resources Sited on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land north of Interstate-10 A combined 250-megawatt solar energy plant to be one of the largest in the nation and capable of generating enough electricity to power nearly 88,000 homes annually Will avoid approximately 330,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually that would have been produced if the electricity had been generated using fossil fuels Proven concentrating solar power similar to existing solar energy facilities at Kramer Junction and Harper Lake in California with a combined generating capability of 310 megawatts and operated by NextEra Energy Resources Proposed interconnection point the tobe-built Colorado River Substation, via the Blythe Transmission Line Estimated completion of construction: 30 months after receipt of a BLM Right of Way and a California Energy Commission license

SOLAR COLLECTORS

How Genesis Solar Will Work

Solar collectors capture and concentrate sunlight to heat a synthetic oil, which then heats water to create steam. The steam is piped to an onsite turbinegenerator to produce electricity, which is then transmitted over power lines. The solar thermal technology will provide 100 percent of the power generated by the plant. No supplemental fuel for electricity production is proposed. The project will use two auxiliary, natural gasfired boilers to reduce startup time and to provide freeze protection for the synthetic oil.
