The Desert Sunlight Solar Farm — a 550-megawatt farm that is also one of the largest solar plants in the world — began operating in December 2014, but Monday marked the day it was officially dedicated by U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. Jewell said the project can provide enough energy to power more than 160,000 average California homes every year — a huge help for the state in meeting its goal to increase its renewable electricity use to 50 percent by 2030.
“This is the beginnings of a renewable energy future,” Jewell said at the dedication. “Renewable energy where the source of the energy never goes away, where we don’t have to emit any carbon into the atmosphere.”
