Projects
Areva Solar has a number of projects aimed to advance research and development activities in the renewable energy sector. Kimberlina solar plant in Bakersfield, California, began operation in October 2008. It was the first new CSP facility in California in nearly 20 years. The Kimberlina plant has a 5-MW capacity—enough power for 3,500 homes in central California. It is the first CLFR plant to be built in North America.
Areva Solar is conducting a 44-MW solar thermal addition with CS Energy to the existing 750-MW Kogan Creek Power Station in Queensland, Australia. This station will be able to produce more electricity with the same amount of coal when it is complete in 2013. The project, subsidized by the Australian government, is estimated to cost A$104.7 million. It will be the world's largest solar integration with a coal-fired plant, and it will reduce the facility's greenhouse gas emissions by 35,600 metric tons annually.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
