Construction on a utility scale solar project is underway in Lincoln County, Nevada, where Bechtel has been selected by Estuary Power to design and construct a new 226 MW direct current photovoltaic (PV) solar facility.
The Escape Solar project will consist of approximately 389,000 PV solar panels across 900 acres (364 ha) to produce energy to serve four major power customers in the region, including MGM Resorts International, Overton Power District, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Las Vegas. The project will include bifacial solar panel technology that enables both sides of the panels to absorb sunlight.
Bechtel will design and deliver the PV facility solar portion of the project, including engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and project management. Construction is scheduled to be completed in Q3 2025.
