BrightSource Energy Files Application to Develop 400 MW Solar Power Plant Complex in California.

The Application For Construction (AFC) with the California Energy Commission (CEC) is the first AFC to be filed in the state since 1989 for the construction of solar power plants.

BrightSource plans to build three separate solar plants on a site in California known as Ivanpah, about five miles southwest of Primm, Nevada. The site is located on federally owned land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The complex will include two 100 MW solar power plants and one 200 MW solar power plant. The plants will utilize Distributed Power Tower (DPT) (tm) solar field technology developed by Luz II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BrightSource Energy.

BrightSource Energy was founded by Arnold Goldman. Between 1984 and 1990, Mr. Goldman and the Luz International team built nine Solar Electricity Generating Stations (SEGS) in California’s Mojave Desert. These plants, the first of their kind, have a combined capacity of 354 MW and are currently in operation.(9/6/07)
