Bernhardt, signed the Record of Division (ROD) for Solar Partners XI, LLC, to erect a 690-MW photovoltaic (PV) solar electric producing structure and ancillary facilities near Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is estimated to cost $1 billion and is being built by Gemini Solar. Once complete, it could be the eighth-largest power facility in the world.&nbsp;The on-site construction workforce is expected to employ roughly 500 &#8211; 700 construction workers, possibly peaking 900. The project will be implemented in a multi-stage approach, with the first phase slated to begin in 2021 and completed in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire project will include a 34.5 kV (kilovolt) overhead and underground collector lines, a 2-acre (0.8-hectare) operation and maintenance facility, three substations, internal access roads, access roads along generation tie-lines, a perimeter road, perimeter fencing, water storage tanks for fire protection, drainage control features, potential on-site water well or new water pipeline, and improvements to the existing NV Energy facilities to support interconnection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur economic resurgence will rely on getting America back to work, and this project delivers on that objective,\u201d said Secretary Bernhardt.
