Document Description
Rosemary Solar, LLC proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission the Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex on approximately 1,172 acres in unincorporated Fresno County. The Project would generate up to approximately 140 megawatts alternating current (MWac) and include energy storage capacity of up to approximately 140 MWac. Related facilities and infrastructure would include O&M buildings, parking, an on-site substation, and an up-to 2-mile-long generation-tie line via 1 of 4 possible paths to deliver power to the existing Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) 70 kilovolt (kV) Crescent Substation. The Project also includes facility and infrastructure improvements to be constructed, owned and operated by PG&E, including reconductoring 5 linear miles of the PG&E Helm to Crescent 70 kV electric transmission line and raising a portion of the existing PG&E Crescent Switching Station-Schindler 70 kV power line that runs perpendicular to the proposed Rosemary Project gen-tie line.
