What are the benefits of central station solar?
According to the Western Governors’ Association Solar Task Force, 4 gigawatts (GW) of central station solar power deployment in the southwestern United States would: • Reduce electricity costs for large-scale solar power plants • Create thousands of jobs and generate millions of revenue dollars • Provide a hedge against fuel price volatility • Produce societal and environmental benefits.
