Received
Present Land Use
Dryland farming, grazing, wind energy facilities/Exclusive Agriculture (A-160) and Water Dependent Industrial (IWD)/Agriculture
Document Description
The Project would repower our existing Solano Wind Project Phase 2. This would consist of removing 29 Vestas V90 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) at the Solano 2 Wind site and constructing 21 new WTGs in the same general areas as the previously used locations. The Project would generate up to 94.5 MW. The Project site is dominated by non-native grasslands used for seasonal livestock grazing and dry crop farming. The Project would consist of, road improvements, WTG foundations, and an underground electrical collection system to transport electricity to the Russell Substation. In addition, two obsolete overhead electrical powerlines would be removed, two existing meteorological towers outside of the Solano 2 area would be replaced near their original locations, and a temporary water intake pump would be located at the Sacramento River to provide water for construction.
