Techren Solar Project

The project was originally founded and developed by SECP (Sustainable Energy Capital Partners) ^[3] and further developed by 174 Power Global, the US subsidiary of the South Korean company, Hanwha Group. The project was constructed in two phases: the 100 MW Techren 1 began in 2017 and the 200 MW Techren 2 began in 2018.^[4]

Both units are built to a 1.5 kV_dc maximum system voltage standard.^[5][6] This increase from the previous 1.0 kV_dc standard enables the inverter to operate at higher efficiency and reliability, and is expected to reduce overall balance of system costs over the lifetime of the facility.^[7] Swinerton Renewable Energy was the EPC contractor, and Clenera provided asset management services.^[8] Project completion in September 2019 was as scheduled.^[9]

NV Energy is purchasing the electricity from both facilities, which are eligible for further customer participation under the NV GreenEnergy Rider opportunity.^[10] As with Boulder Solar and the Fort Churchill Solar Array, Apple Inc. helped to motivate the project through participation of its northern Nevada data centers in the program.^[11]

An additional 100 MW was developed: the 25 MW Techren 3, the 25 MW Techren 4 which were completed in October 2020, and the 50 MW Techren 5 completed in December 2020.^{[12][13][14][15]}
