Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project — 125 MW Solar

Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is a 125 MW solar power facility located in the United States. It contributes to the growing solar energy landscape in the country and is part of a larger trend toward renewable energy sources.

Ranking as the 54th largest solar plant in the United States, it represents about 0.31% of the country’s total solar capacity of 40,823 MW. The U.S. has 3,289 solar plants with a combined capacity of 40,823 MW. In comparison, the largest solar plant, Sandstone Solar Energy Project at 2,000 MW, is 16 times larger than Crescent Dunes.

Solar energy plays an increasingly vital role in the U.S. energy mix, with significant growth in capacity over the past decade. The facility is located in Nevada, approximately 200 km northwest of Las Vegas, in a region well-suited for solar generation due to its high levels of sunlight.
