Document Description
CONTROL NUMBER: PLNP2021-00191
The project is a request for a use permit to construct, operate, and ultimately
decommission an approximately 200-megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generating facility and associated 4-hour/100 MW AC battery energy storage system (BESS) on parcels that total approximately 2,700 acres in the Cosumnes community of unincorporated Sacramento County. The project is
generally located south of U.S. Route 50 , northwest of Rancho Murieta, southeast of the Prairie City State Vehicle Recreation Area (PCSVRA), and south of White Rock Road in the Cosumnes community. Specifically, it is located on what is known as the "Barton Ranch" adjacent to 3830 Scott Road. A dedicated transmission line called a
generation tie (gen-tie) line would extend approximately 1.3 miles west to provide an interconnection to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) 230 kilovolt (kV) powerline which runs through PCSVRA. The applicant is proposing to construct, operate, and at the end of the project's life, decommission a solar generation and energy storage facility . The development area (approximately 1,412 acres of the 2,700 acres) will include an on-site substation, inverters, fencing , roads , and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.
