Update: Utility-scale solar projects in the U.S.

    Greentech Media has an interesting report from Rhone Resch, CEO of SEIA, on utility-scale solar projects in the U.S.
    "In 2009 there was 58 megawatts of utility-scale solar deployed in the U.S. in 5 projects. The compelling news is that SEIA expects to see more than 200 megawatts of utility-scale solar from concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaics (PV) coming online in 2010. Those projects include Florida Power and Light's 75-megawatt trough project and thin film solar efforts by First Solar.
     Even more encouraging is that there are over 100 utility-scale solar projects in the U.S. totaling 17,000 MW now in the planning stage."
