The project will create approximately 400 construction jobs and 15 ongoing operations and maintenance jobs.įirst Solar, a manufacturer of PV modules, will construct, operate and maintain the Topaz solar farm for project sponsor MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (“MidAmerican”). It is currently the largest solar farm under construction without the support of the US Department of Energy, and will be one of the biggest in the world. Lighting the wayĬonstruction of Topaz, a solar farm located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, began in late 2011 and is expected to be completed in early 2015, carried out in three phases. Lloyds Bank financed the solar farm, in its first bond co-manager role on a renewable energy project financing in North America. One of the largest projects of this kind is Topaz, a 550 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) farm, which will produce sufficient electricity to power 160,000 average California homes. Those proven to provide consistent energy generation remain key targets for investors and funders. This has contributed to a growing demand for renewable energy sources, and an increase in solar and PV projects in recent years. To meet the needs of its residents, the state's economy requires affordable, sustainable and reliable supplies of electricity. The Department of Finance’s most recent figures show that California’s population is now nearly 37.7 million, an increase of almost 251,000 from 2011. LLOYDS BANK HELPS TOPAZ SECURE BRIGHT FUTURE
