The Trump administration on Monday approved what it said would one day be the largest solar project in U.S. history, to be located on federal land in the Nevada desert.
The Gemini Solar project is expected to generate enough electricity to power 260,000 homes in the Las Vegas area and will include a battery system to store energy for use after the sun goes down, the U.S. Department of Interior said in a statement.
Nevada utility NV Energy, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc, will be the customer for the project's power. California-based Arevia Power is the developer.
The $1 billion project is expected to begin this year and last until 2022 or 2023.
