Nevada has a strong solar presence nationally, ranked 6th in deployment by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) with 4.5GW installed through 2021. SEIA estimates $8.5 billion in investment in solar in Nevada, with over 6,000 jobs. The state will host the Gemini solar project, a $1.2 billion, 690MW solar and energy storage facility that will begin commissioning in 2023. The project is developed by Primergy, a Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners portfolio company.
