11 years after a celebrated opening, massive solar plant faces a bleak future in the Mojave Desert

What was once the largest solar power plant of its type in the world appears headed for closure just 11 years after opening

Thing didn't begin to pay itself off. How much to tear it down?

A post on the PG&E website said that Ivanpah's “technology had worked on a smaller scale in Europe.” But over time, it couldn't match the lower prices of photovoltaic technology.


the joke being on the consumer

~S~

So, a complete green energy fail, billions wasted, land destroyed, countless rare plant species lost, thousands of birds and tortoises incinerated, it loses power, it under performs, it costs too much, and it blinds nearby drivers. And it lowered the planetary temperature exactly SQUAT.

Another leftwing win for the climate!

Advances in other solar energy products undercut it's operational cost.

Just another enviro-whacko fiasco for the now dying enviro movement.

Are they still using natural gas to fire the boilers at night?

I'm not sure that it is dying Jack, just returning to normal sans Biden's artifical climate government mandates.
Nothing wrong with these technologies and others to explore, test and try, where the problem came in was Biden's federal use of force dumping billions of taxpayer dollars into artificially boosting its success while setting legal deadlines pressuring businesses and people to conform and adopt it whether they wanted it, needed it, or could afford it or not.

If any green energy technology comes along truly BETTER, it will succeed without any of that, people will want it, because it is cheaper, cleaner and more productive.

Not because they have a gun to their head.

Well, it looks like mankind will have to power the world with the cleanest and most reliable source, oil.

No, Ivanpah is closing cause it never ever worked, a failure since day one. As the old threads here discussed.

 

[elektra]

But, the funny thing is, all these studies that were used showing the economic viability of solar used ivanpah.

Everything said is a proven lie!

Solar is too expensive, yet you claimed Ivanpah was the future.

Ivanpah solar was always a lie. It has always been broke. Now a full 33% of it is non-functional, broke beyond repair.

This why is why the largest solar project in the world is shutdown.
