The Sandstone project will be a solar power plant complex with up to ten solar thermal towers, using the next generation of SolarReserve’s 24/7 baseload solar technology. Each tower will be 150-200 megawatts, with storage and fully dispatchable, each producing about 700,000 megawatt-hours per year. Times ten towers, this will total up to 2,000 megawatts of power capacity and 7,000,000 megawatt-hours of annual output – generating power when energy is most valuable, reducing cost and risk to customers. Each tower will have approximately 10 hours of full-load energy storage, totaling 20,000 megawatt hours of energy storage capability for the entire project. Sandstone will be built in Nevada, and connected to California’s and Nevada’s transmission systems. The first phase of the project will start construction in the next 2-3 years, once we have completed permitting, obtained a power purchase agreement (PPA), secured funding, and selected an EPC.
