HUGE SOLAR FARM APPROVED NEAR BLYTHE

The Bureau of Land Management announced earlier this week its approval of the Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project. The project will be built on former farm land, covering more than five square miles, just off Interstate 10 near the town of Blythe. The Blythe Mesa Solar Power project is the ninth energy project approved in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and is the third project near Blythe. This 485-megawatt project is expected to generate enough power for 120,000 homes.
