Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The Trump administration has canceled the proposed Esmeralda 7 Solar Project in Nevada that would have been among the world's largest solar power facilities.
Officials with the Bureau of Land Management on Thursday announced an environmental impact review of the proposed renewable energy facility has been canceled, which in turn cancels the project, Politico reported.
The canceled project would have built seven solar power-generation projects within the Esmeralda site that would have occupied 118,000 acres of land in Nevada's Esmeralda County and about 30 miles west of Tonopah and 270 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The project would have generated up to 6.2 gigawatts of energy over its service life, which is enough energy to power up to 2 million homes, according to Heatmap.
