Solar Energy Generating Systems
Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in California, at 354 megawatts (MW, 474,700 hp), is the largest solar thermal energy generating facility in the world. It consists of nine solar power plants in California's Mojave Desert, where insolation is among the best available in the United States. SEGS I–II (44 MW) are located at Daggett (34°51′45″N 116°49′45″W / 34.8625°N 116.82917°W / 34.8625; -116.82917), SEGS III–VII (150 MW) are installed at Kramer Junction, and SEGS VIII–IX (160 MW) are placed at Harper Lake (35°02′N 117°21′W / 35.033°N 117.35°W / 35.033; -117.35). NextEra Energy Resources operates and partially owns the plants located at Kramer Junction and Harper Lake.
