Following President Trump's push for fossil fuel production, Washington State has begun building the anticipated largest solar power station in the U.S. at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. After extensive cleanup of radioactive waste over decades, developer Hecate is repurposing 10,300 acres, initiating site evaluation on 8,000 acres for solar farms. The project could generate 2,000 megawatts and store an additional 2,000 megawatts of energy, surpassing the output of conventional nuclear plants, amidst uncertainties due to the current administration's energy policies.
The Hecate solar project at Hanford is set to become the largest U.S. solar generating station, converting 10,300 acres of previously contaminated land into renewable energy.
Expected to generate up to 2,000 megawatts, the site will provide enough electricity to power homes in Seattle, San Francisco, and Denver, while storing an additional 2,000 megawatts.
