Desert Stateline Solar Facility is a 300 megawatt (MW), utility-scale solar photovoltaic power station originally constructed by First Solar in San Bernardino County California, near the Nevada state line. The plant's first 150 megawatts (MW) came online in late 2015,[1][2] and the plant entered full commercial operation in the third quarter of 2016.[3]

In September 2015, it was announced that Southern Company had purchased a controlling interest in the project from First Solar.[4] First Solar operates the facility. Power is sold to Southern California Edison under a 20-year power purchase agreement.[3]
