EDF Renewables North America, along with NV Energy, McCarthy Building Companies and the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, has celebrated the completion of the Arrow Canyon Solar+Storage Project.
The EDF Renewables-developed project began construction in September 2021, with the solar portion completed in December 2022 and storage portion completed this month.
Situated on the Moapa Indian Reservation in Clark County, Nev., the 275 MW solar project is coupled with a 75 MW five-hour battery energy storage system, which generates enough electricity to power 57,600 average Nevada homes. During construction, over 450 jobs were created, with 10% of them filled with Tribal members.
The energy generated is supplied to NV Energy through a 20-year power purchase agreement.
“The partnership between our Moapa community and EDF Renewables has been a mutually beneficial one,” says Kage Thompson, Moapa Tribal Council member. “The project, built entirely on Moapa River Indian Reservation lands, put over 45 tribal members to work during the construction of the project and will continue to provide good revenue streams for the Tribe into the future.”
Arrow Canyon was designed to minimize impacts to wildlife, habitat, and other environmental resources of the Moapa Indian Reservation. The project comprises 621,000 high efficiency bifacial solar photovoltaic modules in conjunction with 564 battery segments. By coupling the solar facility with an energy storage solution, electricity produced during peak solar hours can be dispatched later in the day, thereby creating a balance between electricity generation and demand. Energy storage can further smooth electricity prices, manage evening energy ramps, mitigate curtailment, and provide grid stability.
EDF Renewables’ asset optimization group will perform operations and maintenance services for the life of the project. The group will provide NERC compliance support, remote monitoring and balance-of-plant management to maximize power production.

What do you notice about the shopping bag in the photo?
It has no handles.
That’s right, Albertson’s, with annual revenues of more than $83 billion, has decided to inconvenience its customers, forcing them to wrap both of their arms around their grocery bags to get them into and out of their shopping carts, into and out of their cars, and finally into their homes.
The savings? From what I can learn from AI, the answer is somewhere around $0.12 each. If you’re interested, you can Google: “cost per 1000000 paper grocery bags.”
I understand that grocery stores operate on low margins, but if it were my decision to make, I wouldn’t be deliberately pissing off my customers who are spending $100 for a bag of my groceries in order to save 12 cents.
Yet Albertson’s isn’t unique; in fact, it’s everywhere you go. Look at your cell phone bill and your streaming services. Corporate greed is grinding you into the pavement while it relished in your misery.

What Krishnamurti says at left reminds us of the direction that essentially everything takes in human civilization. What once was pure eventually becomes adulterated and monetized.
The most egregious example of this is how the wealthiest human beings on Earth have decided to ruin the planet with carbon emissions–simply so they can make even more money.
It’s great to see the ongoing protests against the criminality of the Trump administration.
