Document Description
The project consists of construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of renewable photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generation and energy storage system facilities and interconnection to the regional energy grid. Proposed solar facilities would generate approximately 300 megawatts alternating current (MWAC) of solar PV energy and have capacity to store up to 300 MW of energy on approximately 2,362 acres of private land in western Fresno County. These facilities would interconnect to the regional electrical grid via an electrical generation-tie (gen-tie) line between the solar facility and the existing Tranquillity Switching Station, which is located approximately 1.25 miles south of the solar and energy storage facility site. The project would also require other necessary infrastructure work to support interconnection and upgrades within the existing Tranquillity Switching Station, owned and operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).
