Terra-Gen and Mortenson have announced completion of Edwards & Sanborn Solar + Energy Storage, in which Mortenson was the full EPC contractor on both the solar and energy storage scopes for the project.
The project includes more than 1.9 million First Solar modules, generates 875 MW of solar energy and has 3,287 MWh of energy storage with a total interconnection capacity of 1,300 MW. It uses LG Chem, Samsung and BYD batteries.
The project supplies power to the city of San Jose, Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and the Clean Power Alliance, among others.
A portion of the project is situated on Edwards Air Force Base.
“Now fully operational, this facility is a transformational project in the industry and is providing resiliency to the grid” says Brian Gorda, vice president of engineering at Terra-Gen. “The Mortenson team was tasked with an extremely difficult goal to build this project, and they proved to be the right partner for the job. We are excited to bring Edwards & Sanborn online and benefiting the people of California.”
“Mortenson is honored to help Terra-Gen deliver the Edwards & Sanborn project and provide the region with clean, resilient power, ” adds Mark Donahue, senior vice president at Mortenson. “I’m proud of the world-class facility our team designed, built and commissioned for Terra-Gen.”

The mural here reminds us of what Tom Joad famously tells his mother at the end of in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, in response to her asking Tom where he’s going:
Wherever people are fighting for their rights, where kids are hungry and crying, and where folks are struggling to be free. Everywhere in the dark, wherever there is a fight so hungry people can eat or a cop beating up a guy.
What the late Frank Zappa said here about atheism is what I began predicting when I was in my teens, but I’m not so optimistic today.
In fact, there seems to be a trend towards the rejection of science, fear, brutality, and tribalism–each one a pillar of religion and the fanaticism that so often surrounds it.
As shown at left, “communism” and “socialism” have been used to scare American idiots for almost a century.
