Located 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, near Barstow, California, the Mojave Solar Project is a 280 MW gross parabolic trough plant. Construction began in 2011 and the project came online at the end of 2014. The project has generated thousands of jobs, peaking at over 2,200 positions in the construction phase. Currently, it permanently employs about 70 people in operation and maintenance activities.

A parabolic trough solar thermal power plant (PTSTPP) is one of the attractive technologies to produce electricity from thermal solar energy that use mirrors to focus sunlight onto a receiver that captures the sun’s energy and converts it into heat that can run a standard turbine generator or engine.
