The world''s longest running solar farm

ENER-T

Parabolic trough technology is the most proven and lowest cost large-scale solar power technology available today. More than 2,000,000 m2 of parabolic trough collector technology has been operating daily for up to 25 years. The SEGS plants supply an annual 800 million kWh – enough for more than 230,000 households

Longest-Operating Solar Thermal Facility Retires Nearly Entire Capacity

World''s longest-operating solar thermal facility is

SEGS, which began operating in 1984, is the world''s longest-operating solar thermal power facility. Solar thermal power plants use mirrors to focus sunlight onto a receiver, which absorbs and converts the sunlight into

The world''s longest running solar farm

Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) is a group of nine geothermal solar farms in the Mojave Desert in California, and is the world''s longest-operating solar plant still in commercial production. The development of the solar farms was staggered throughout the 1980s, with SEG I and II constructed in 1986.

Solar Energy Generating Systems

Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) is a concentrated solar power plant in California, United States. With the combined capacity from three separate locations at 354 megawatt (MW), it was for thirty years the world''s largest solar thermal energy generating facility, until the commissioning of the even larger Ivanpah facility in 2014.

Solar Trough Power Plants

In 1984, the first of the concentrating solar power plants (known as the Solar Electric Generating System, or SEGS) began converting solar energy into electri-city in California''s Mojave Desert. Using technology developed by the U.S. Depart-ment of Energy (DOE), private industry ultimately built nine SEGS power plants.
