One of the world's largest solar projects is proposed for retired farm land in the central San Joaquin Valley.
It is one of at least a dozen utility-scale solar proposals, ranging from 5 to 250 megawatts, planned in Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties - and certainly the largest, reports The Fresno Bee.
However, the development is likely to face regulatory and environment review, and could cost a bundle to build. But, it is an example of what some say is the extreme potential of the Valley: The Westlands Water District land is close to cities needing electricity and to a main transmission line along Interstate 5.
