FUEL FROM THE SKY: SOLAR POWER’S POTENTIAL FOR WESTERN ENERGY SUPPLY As can be seen in Exhibit 24, at 1,052,000 GWh, premium solar resources alone are capable of producing nearly all of the estimated 1,092,000 GWh of western electricity consumed in 2001. If excellent and good solar resources are included, the western solar generating potential is twice the current electric energy demand, but would only require one-half of 1% of western lands. Although solar energy resources are not evenly distributed, large solar resources are found in many areas of the West and are often located close to load centers. In order to get a better understanding of the size of the land that would be required to meet western electricity demands with solar power, we show in Exhibit 25 the area required to replace existing generation by fuel type. For example, in 2001, western coal plants generated about 482,226 GWh of electricity, or 44% of western electricity. To provide the same electricity from solar power plants located in premium resource areas, 46% of premium solar resources would be required, which is equal to one-tenth of 1% of the area of Lower-48 western states. This area would be equivalent in size to a square of 41.5 x 41.5 miles. For the purpose of solar power plant development, five areas in the West stand out. To estimate the amount of available premium solar resources in these areas we used the same methodology as in Exhibit 24. Given the solar resources and proximity to load centers, the following regions are likely to be the focus of solar power plant development: ● Mojave Desert This area—despite its dwindling size—is still a top solar resource devel- opment area, because of world-class solar resources, access to transmission, and the proximity to the major load centers of Los Angeles and San Diego. Estimated available premium solar resource area is 213 square miles. Near Harper Lake, California, an esti- mated 2,200 acres (3.4 square miles) of fallow agricultural land were previously zoned for solar power plant development and would allow construction of new solar power in proxim- ity to the existing SEGS parabolic trough units VIII and IX, which occupy some of this land. ● Nevada Triangle Close to one of the fastest growing and most power hungry cities in the nation, Las Vegas, the southern “triangle” of Nevada provides plenty of premium Exhibit 25: Premium Solar Resources Required to Replace Existing Generation, by Fuel 2001 Generation by Fuel Oil and Gas Nuclear Hydro Other 259,604 124,306 199,400 26,625 25 12 19 3 Solar Resources Required Coal GWh 482,226 % of Premium Resources 46 (Miles x Miles) 41.5 x 41.5 30.4 x 30.4 21.1 x 21.1 26.7 x 26.7 9.7 x 9.7 Land as % of Western States 0.10 0.05 0.03 0.04 0.01 SOURCE: RDI Consulting NOTE: 2001 generation by fuel type was renormalized to normal hydro and weather conditions. 51PDF Image | Solar Fuel From The Sky
