US-based real estate firm CIM Group has initiated construction works on the Westlands Solar Park (WSP), which is said to be one of the largest permitted solar parks in the world.

Spread across more than 20,000 acres in California’s San Joaquin Valley between western Fresno and Kings Counties, WSP has the potential to generate more than 2.7GW of clean energy when fully operational.

The electricity will be sufficient to power more than 1.2 million homes in the region. WSP is located in a designated Opportunity Zone as defined under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
