Carrizo Energy Solar Farm
- Carrizo Energy Solar Farm
The Carrizo Energy Solar Farm is a proposed 177 megawatt (MW) solar thermal power plant which is to be built by Ausra in California's Carrizo Plain, near Simmler. The location gets less sun than the Mojave Desert, where several other solar thermal plants are under consideration, but is on an existing transmission line from Diablo Canyon Power Plant, reducing the cost and time needed to construct the plant.

The power plant will provide enough power for 60,000 homes, and Pacific Gas and Electric has entered into a contract to buy all the power from the power plant. Ausra has filed the necessary building applications with the California Energy Commission and plans to have the plant generating power by 2010. The plant will use Ausra's Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) solar technology.
