Utilities to test solar power at traditional plants
The Electric Power Research Institute said Dynegy Inc and NV Energy will host case studies of the technology at natural gas plants in Arizona and Nevada, respectively.

Southern Company, Progress Energy Inc and Salt River Project are also providing funding for the projects.
