Juno Beach, Florida based FPL Group Inc identified that it has filed an application
with California regulators to build and operate a 250-megawatt (MW) solar
thermal plant in the Mojave Desert.
The plant is part of FPL's strategy to add at least 600 MW of new solar generating capacity by 2015.
The Beacon Solar Energy Project will be located on a 2,000 acre site in Kern County, California. Construction on the plant is expected to begin in late 2009 and will take two years to complete. The plant will generate enough electricity to power about 175,000 homes.
FPL operates a wind farm in Solano County.
