New solar farm in Western Fresno County will power 80,000 homes

Luna Valley Solar is a 200-megawatt project expected to produce enough electricity to power more than 80,000 homes yearly.

The role of Fresno County’s westside in solar energy production continues to expand with the addition of Luna Valley Solar, a 200-megawatt project expected to produce enough electricity to power more than 80,000 homes yearly.

The project’s developer, Clearway Energy Group, announced this week that it had closed $700 million in financing for the Luna Valley project and a 113.5 megawatt storage project in San Bernardino County.

Clearway Energy said in a news release that half of Luna Valley’s solar power and battery storage output has been contracted in a 15-year agreement by San Diego Gas & Electric. The remainder of its solar capacity is under 20-year contracts with Southern California Edison and the Power & Water Resources Pooling Authority, Clearway said.
