SolarReserve, a leading global developer of utility-scale solar power projects and advanced solar thermal technology, is pleased to announce the receipt of two Engineering News Record (ENR) Southwest Best Project Awards for its landmark Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project in Nevada. The award-winning project was named Best Overall as well as Best Energy/Industrial construction project. ENRs Best Projects Awards honor the teams that created the best projects of 2014 nationwide. These extraordinary projects are selected by regional juries of prominent industry professionals. Categories awarded cover a variety of building and highway/heavy categories - from Best Green Project to Best Highway Project. SolarReserves 110 MW Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Plant located in Nevada is the first utility-scale facility in the world to feature advanced molten salt power tower energy storage capabilities. The project has completed construction, is currently in the commissioning phase, and will generate more than 500,000 megawatt-hours per year. This annual output is more than twice that of other technologies per MW of capacity, such as photovoltaics (PV) or direct steam solar thermal. Utilizing next generation storage technology, the project design includes 10 hours of full-load energy storage providing efficient and cost effective storage capabilities for 1,100 megawatt-hours of electricity.
