The Catalina Solar Project is a 143.2 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station[1] located near Bakersfield, Kern County, California, owned by enXco, an EDF Énergies Nouvelles Company. It covers area of 445 hectares (1,100 acres).
Construction began in May, 2012 and was fully completed in August, 2013.[2] It use thin-film PV panels bought from Solar Frontier (CIGS type) and First Solar (CdTe type).
enXco has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) for the production from the station.
That clean electricity could offset roughly 74,000 tons of carbon emissions each year.
