Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan (VCIP)

Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan (VCIP)

The Project is located in the Fresno County portion of the District on the westside of the San Joaquin Valley. The Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan (VCIP) provides a blueprint for the development of clean energy facilities and supporting infrastructure with an overall generating and delivery capacity of up to 21,000 MW on approximately 136,000 acres of repurposed farmland. The VCIP consists of the following two main Plan elements: “Energy Resource Plan” and an “Infrastructure Plan,” as briefly described below. ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN. The VCIP Energy Resource Plan is a master plan for clean energy development in the form of: 1) solar photovoltaic (PV) generating facilities, and 2) battery energy storage systems (BESS), both of which would be developed within defined “Development Focus Areas” (DFAs) consisting of District-owned land and private lands of participating landowners located within the Fresno County portion of the Westlands Water District service area. It is anticipated that the DFAs would be built out over a 10-year period. (Continued)
