Title

RES-BCT and Regional Water Reclamation Facility Solar Development Project

Description

As part of the District’s continued development of the Nancy Wright Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility [Nancy Wright RWRF], the District has determined that its operations would be best served with expanded solar generation to the north of the Nancy Wright RWRF site. Thus, the District will serve as the CEQA lead agency for the proposed project, which would involve installation of ground mounted solar to the north and west of the existing solar plant located at the northwest intersection of 19th Avenue and Little Morongo Road. The first photovoltaic system would be installed in support of the existing RES-BCT site (north of the existing photovoltaic system along Little Morongo Road) and would be sized at 3,585 kilowatts (kW) (the system’s Direct Current [DC] system rating). The second photovoltaic system would be installed in support of the Nancy Wright RWRF site (west of the existing photovoltaic system along 19th Avenue), and would be sized at 392.04 kW (the system’s DC system rating). Each of the proposed solar facilities will require installation of associated transmission lines and electrical appurtenances. Construction of this project is anticipated to begin in Quarter 4 of 2025, and conclude in (approximately) the second quarter of 2026. The photovoltaic systems at the Nancy Wright RWRF and RES-BCT would generate a combined 3.97 megawatt of electricity per day.
