Aside from all the turbulence of trying to get a project off the ground, the deciding factor was that the electrical transport infrastructure (aka wires) couldn't support the desired load of 4.5MW-10MW and was slashed to 3MW, making the project inviable?
To me, the "obvious" solution is to create solar plants closer to their use and lay down new infrastructure. From my understanding, one of the major reasons to have power plants so far away from urban centers is because they were dirty or location locked (waterfalls, etc.). With solar, this need essentially goes away with the ability now to put solar plants essentially in the middle, or directly adjacent, to urban centers.
Could someone enlighten me as to why this is not feasible or if someone is already discussing this idea?
