Massive solar field planned for north of Reno

Vidler Water Co. is proposing to build a 100-megawatt solar farm, one of the largest in the country, at its Fish Springs Ranch about 40 miles from Reno in northern Washoe County.
If approved by Washoe County and regional officials, construction is planned to start in 2011 and be phased in over 10 to 15 years.
Several larger solar projects, including two near San Luis Obispo also are being planned, said Richard Ferguson, coordinator for California’s renewable energy transmission initiative.
