In context: how this plant compares
Technically it is described as PV. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Solar PV converts sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts or fuel; output varies by time of day and weather, so it pairs with storage or flexible backup.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
