Eagle Shadow Mountain Solar Farm
Planned 300 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station north of Las Vegas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eagle Shadow Mountain Solar Farm is a planned 420 MWp (300 MWAC) photovoltaic power station north of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada on the Moapa River Indian Reservation.[1] The facility is being developed by 8minutenergy Renewables and when completed will be the largest photovoltaic system on tribal lands in North America.[2] It is also the largest component within NV Energy's current tranche of renewable energy projects that will create over 1 Gigawatt of new electricity supply.[3][4]

The electricity generated will have a flat rate of $23.76 per megawatt-hour throughout its 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) term, which could establish a new record-low rate for a solar PPA contract.[5][6][7]
The project is also part of NV Energy’s plans to retire a 254 MW coal-fired unit in a power-constrained region of Nevada at the end of 2021, four years ahead of schedule.[8][9]
