Canary Media: The biggest US solar-storage project yet takes shape in California

Westlands Water District approved 21 gigawatts of solar and batteries on water-parched fields in the Central Valley, giving farmers a way to profit from fallow land. “The real benefit to us is that it gives our growers another crop to grow, which is the sun,” she said. ​“Our growers have this issue: ​‘I have 100 acres of land but only enough water to irrigate 50 of those acres. What do I do with the remainder of those acres?’.” It will be the largest solar and battery project in the country, and it will take up to a decade to be completed. Story HERE.
