Copper Mountain Solar 3 is a 255 MW solar photovoltaic power plant located in Clark County, Nevada. The plant began operating in 2014 and consists of 10 generators utilizing fixed-tilt solar tracking technology. Consolidated Edison Development Inc. is the owner and operator. The plant's output is delivered within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) region, and the balancing authority is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
In its most recent year of operation, Copper Mountain Solar 3 generated 597,368 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 26.7%. The plant holds a rank of 6 out of 18 solar facilities in Nevada, and a national rank of 107 out of 639. Financial data indicates a power purchase agreement (PPA) price of $102.93 per MWh, according to data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
