Officials gather for the commissioning ceremony, including former SCOA President Kazuhiro Takeuchi (third from left) and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell (fourth from right). "We wouldn't be here today without the hard work and cooperation of all our partners," said Armando Pimentel, president and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy Resources, the managing owner of the plant. "We are proud that Desert Sunlight will help California meet its renewable energy goals and has helped bring much needed jobs and economic benefits to families and businesses throughout Riverside County." The Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is located on approximately 3,600 acres of land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Riverside County. The more than eight-million solar panel PV project can generate 550 megawatts of power, enough to supply 160,000 households. The project delivers significant environmental benefits, including displacing approximately 300,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, equal to removing more than 60,000 cars from the road. First Solar procured permits for this project, then constructed it, and now operates the plant, with NextEra managing the project.The power generated is being provided to Pacific Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Edison under long-term contracts for each company. The Sumitomo team at the ceremony Development on the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm began in 2008. In 2011, it received its right-of-way grant from the Bureau of Land Management and since its groundbreaking, the project employed an average of 440 construction workers who logged more than 3.6 million man-hours of work at the facility. In addition, more than 40 California businesses contributed to the project through services ranging from materials, equipment, utilities, labor, housing, and food and beverage.

As a result of the experience and know-how gained from the Desert Sunlight project, SCOA was able to fully develop the Mesquite Creek Wind project as lead developer. SCOA continues to leverage the knowledge gained from the Desert Sunlight investment through other solar development projects in the U.S. and Chile.
