FUEL FROM THE SKY: SOLAR POWER’S POTENTIAL FOR WESTERN ENERGY SUPPLY solar resources. Estimated available premium resource is 520 square miles. In the Nevada triangle 24 square miles of land have already been designated as solar enter- prise zones. In the section, “Heat Storage,” we show that 1,250 MW of solar capacity, which would occupy 7.8 square miles, using 3.5 hours of storage, would be able to meet one-third of Nevada Power’s energy needs reliably. ● West of Phoenix Large areas of lands are potentially available west of Phoenix. Estimated available premium solar resource is 520 square miles. ● Navajo and Hopi Nations The Navajo and Hopi nations appear to have the largest con- tiguous premium solar resource area in the West. The land is mainly flat and ideal for solar power plant development. To export the power, transmission line upgrades or con- struction is needed. Tax advantages for developments on tribal lands could make the Navajo and Hopi nations a preferred solar development area. Estimated available premi- um solar resource is 424 square miles. ● Tucson Around Tucson, Arizona, and reaching into southern New Mexico are large amounts of premium solar resources that could serve this rapidly growing metropolitan area. We estimate that 472 square miles of premium solar resource areas are available. A strip of west Texas along the Mexican border also contains large amounts of premium solar resources and is located inside the ERCOT transmission system. Texas consumes more power than any other western region and the interconnection rules of the ERCOT system operator allow for easy interconnection within the region. However, a large amount of new generating capacity recently came on-line in the state. This and the fact that Texas’ Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard is already oversubscribed could make it hard for solar plant developers to count on regulators to mandate more renewable energy. Intermittence of Sun a Challenge Like wind, the sun is an intermittent resource. No solar radiation is available at night, and cloud cover, smog, or haze can further limit generation from a solar power plant. The arrival of night in the western states causes solar radiation to go to zero within an hour across the entire region. While local weather conditions can vary across an area as large as the West, the nightly setting of the sun occurs nearly at the same time. Solar’s intermittence due to weather conditions can be dealt with by dispersing solar power plants across the West. Premium solar resource areas are found in six western states, and excellent and good solar resources areas are found in 11 states. A robust transmission grid would allow the transfer of solar power across the West—transmitting electricity from where the sun shines to where it does not. To a limited degree, the existing transmission grid of the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) can already perform this function. 52
