It was the largest solar facility in the state when it came online in December, 2015. The power is being sold under a 20-year power purchase agreement to Rocky Mountain Power which serves customers in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming.[1][2] Project detailsThe project takes advantage of the abundant sunshine at a cool high elevation of over 6,000 feet in the Parowan Valley. It is located on 632 acres of private land close to an existing Rocky Mountain Power substation.[3] The project includes a visitor's center named for the late Dennis Stowell, a state senator who represented Iron County.[4] The project was developed by the Norwegian firm Scatec Solar starting in 2011, and was originally estimated to cost up to $500 million.[3] Google and Prudential Capital eventually came online as investors in the project in late 2014 with tax equity and debt financing support; with Google and Scatec Solar to retain joint ownership of the completed facility.[2][5] Construction was anticipated to create approximately 120 to 200 jobs, of which 80% were to be local.[6] Construction began in December 2014, and completed in December 2015. Swinerton Renewable Energy served as the EPC contractor. The total investment in the completed facility has been estimated at $188 million (much less than when planning started in 2011 due to the substantial drop in PV panel prices).[2] The 340,784 modules are expected to produce 210 million kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to supply about 18,500 homes.[7] On December 29, 2016 it was announced that Scatec Solar had sold its ownership interest in the operating facility to the Australian Macquarie Group.[8] Swinerton Renewable Energy operates and maintains the facility.[9] Electricity production
