Lancaster sits in California's high desert about 70 miles north of LA, connected by the scenic Highway 14 through mountain passes. This Antelope Valley city serves as a Mojave Desert gateway, with frequent winds that power massive solar and wind farms. The area's elevation of 2,300 feet brings desert climate and stunning views. Lancaster operates the largest municipal solar installation in the US, generating enough power to run all city operations with surplus to spare.
