Springbok Solar Farm
The Springbok Solar Farm is a 443 MWp photovoltaic power station in the northwestern Mojave Desert, near California City in eastern Kern County, California. The facility was developed and constructed by 8minutenergy Renewables in three phases. It is among the country's largest PV solar farms with a capacity of about 440 MWp.Facility details
The project was developed by 8minutenergy, the largest independent solar power developer in the United States. The three Springbok solar facilities combined generate enough clean, renewable energy to serve more than 152,000 households. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided is comparable to removing nearly 150,000 cars from the road. The power from all three projects is contracted to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.Project units
