Ivanpah Solar Power Facility and the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.

Looks like the first is still producing power, but the electricity being generated ended up being much costlier than photovoltaic panels (since they didn't anticipate they would become so cheap back when it was being constructed) and the people running it want to shut it down. And the latter was shut down after the company went bankrupt twice.
