Eagle Shadow Mountain Solar Farm is a planned 420  MWp (300  MWAC) photovoltaic power station north of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada on the Moapa River Indian Reservation. [1] The facility is being developed by 8minutenergy Renewables and when completed will be the largest photovoltaic system on tribal lands in North America. [2] It is also the largest component within NV Energy's current tranche of renewable energy projects that will create over 1  Gigawatt of new electricity supply. [3] [4]

The electricity generated will have a flat rate of $23.76 per megawatt-hour throughout its 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) term, which could establish a new record-low rate for a solar PPA contract. [5] [6] [7]

The project is also part of NV Energy’s plans to retire a 254 MW coal-fired unit in a power-constrained region of Nevada at the end of 2021, four years ahead of schedule. [8] [9]
