A $2.2 billion taxpayer-funded solar plant in California’s Mojave Desert is shutting down more than a decade early after failing to deliver on its promises of efficiency and affordability.
The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, featuring three massive 459-foot towers, will officially close in 2026, according to the New York Post.
The plant, which began operating in 2014 after being greenlit in 2010, was originally slated to run until 2039.
The decision follows years of speculation and came after Pacific Gas & Electric announced earlier this year it had reached an agreement with Ivanpah’s owners to terminate contracts.
