The Agua Caliente Solar Project is a 290 megawatt photovoltaic solar generating facility being built in Yuma County, Arizona, that will use thin film solar panels manufactured by First Solar. The project sponsor, NRG Solar LLC, estimates the photovoltaic generation facility will fund approximately 400 construction jobs and 10 full time operating jobs, and will be one of the largest plants of its kind in the world when completed. In August 2011, the Department of Energy finalized a $967 million loan guarantee for the project.[1]
