Gemini Solar Project in Nevada Begins Operations, Boosting Clean Energy and Local Economy with 1,300 Jobs.

Primergy Solar and Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners have begun commercial operations in the Gemini solar plus battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Clark County, Nevada. The project, which features 1.8 million solar panels, will produce up to 690MW of clean energy and meet nearly 10% of Nevada’s peak power demand. The solar arrays are co-located with 380MW of battery storage to deliver 1.4GWh of clean, reliable power after sundown. The Gemini project has generated about 1,300 union and sustaining wage jobs and contributed nearly $463m to Nevada’s economy. Primergy Solar secured $1.9bn in debt and tax equity financing for the Gemini project during its development phase and in October 2022, pension asset manager APG acquired a 49% equity ownership in the project.
