Operator NRG says its concentrating solar power technology has fallen behind solar silicon photovoltaic generation in terms ...

Solar panels have gotten so cheap that the plant, born of an old attempt at harnessing the power of the sun, appears to be obsolete.

The Ivanpah solar plant, once a beacon of cutting-edge technology, is closing due to the rapid advancement and cost reduction ...

For some, Ivanpah now stands as a huge, shiny monument to wasted tax dollars and environmental damage. For others, failures ...

From a distance, the Ivanpah solar plant looks like a shimmering lake in the Mojave Desert. Up close, it’s a vast alien-like installation of hundreds of thousand of mirrors pointed at three ...

It wasn’t clear which solar technologies would prove most cost effective when Ivanpah was being built 15 years ago, said Kenneth Gillingham, an economics professor at Yale School of the Environment.
