Technology company Switch announced plans to open the largest solar project portfolio in the country, and they’re going to build it right here in Nevada.
Based in Las Vegas, Switch said the Gigawatt 1 solar project will be built in Southern and Northern Nevada.
According to officials with Switch, the project will generate some of the lowest-priced solar power in the world and produce enough clean energy to power almost 1 million homes.
