Lamesa Solar— 102 MW Solar
Lamesa Solar is a 102 MW solar power plant located in the United States of America, operated by Southern Power Co since its commissioning in 2017. The facility harnesses solar energy to produce electricity, contributing to the growing solar capacity in the country. It is the 71st largest solar plant in the United States. With 102 MW, it represents 0.25% of the country's total solar capacity of 40,823 MW. The United States has 3,289 solar plants with a combined capacity of 40,823 MW. Compared to the largest solar plant, Sandstone Solar Energy Project at 2,000 MW, Lamesa Solar is approximately 1/20th the size. Solar energy plays an increasing role in the United States energy mix, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The plant's location in Texas, known for its high solar irradiation, enhances its efficiency. Lamesa Solar is situated approximately 80 miles west of Lubbock in the Texas Panhandle.
