SunPower Cuts Ribbon On 15 MW Air Force Base Solar Project

SunPower Corp. joined utility NV Energy, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Miranda Ballentine and 99th Air Base Wing Commander Colonel Richard Boutwell in dedicating a new 15 MW solar power system that is now operating at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. SunPower designed and constructed the Nellis Solar Array II project over a closed landfill using its Oasis technology, a fully integrated, modular solar power block. The plant is the first large-scale solar resource that is owned by NV Energy and the 11th large-scale solar generating resource serving the utility’s customers.
