Along with increased solar generation comes increased variability in power output, especially during cloudy conditions. The natural gas generating units at Mohave Energy Park will add quick-starting and fast-ramping power generation resources that can smooth out these fluctuations and ensure the delivery of consistent, reliable power to members.
Each gas turbine added as part of the Mohave Energy Park will be capable of rapid starts (within 10 minutes) and can quickly adjust to match changing electricity demand and intermittent renewable energy across the Mohave region.
