The Techren Solar Project is a 300 megawatt (MWAC) solar photovoltaic power plant near Boulder City, Nevada that is being developed by 174 Power Global, the US subsidiary of the South Korean company, Hanwha Group. Two phases of the project are currently under construction: the 100 MW Techren 1 began in 2017 and the 200 MW Techren 2 began in 2018.[1]
On December 6, 2018 it was announced that Jinko Solar had supplied 350,000 high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon PERC panels rated at 1,500 Volts (Vdc) isolation for the construction of Techren 1. This phase of the project is being constructed by Swinerton Renewable Energy with NV Energy purchasing the power under a 25-year PPA.[2]
The project is located on 2,300 acres near the existing 64 MW Nevada Solar One, 150 MW Boulder Solar, and 552 MW Copper Mountain Solar Facilities in the Eldorado Valley. An additional 100 MW is also in planning for development: the 25 MW Techren 3, the 25 MW Techren 4, and the 50 MW Techren 5.[3][4][5]
