PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located on approximat­ely 531 acres of privately-owned land in the southernmo­st portion of Imperial County, California. The project site is between the U.S./Mexico internatio­nal border and the All-American Canal, on the California side. The project site is proposed on three parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers 059-290-010, 059-300-015, and 059-300-017) that are contiguous with each other. It is approximat­ely 10 miles east of the City of Calexico in Sections 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 within Township 17 South, and Range 16 East of the San Bernardino Base and Meridian of the Bonds Corner topographi­c 7.5 minute quadrangle. The project site is located entirely within the County’s Renewable Energy Overlay Zone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIO­N: The proposed project consists of three primary components: 1) solar energy generation equipment and associated facilities including a substation and access roads (herein referred to as “solar energy facility”); 2) battery storage system; and, 3) gen-tie line that would connect the proposed on-site substation to the point of interconne­ction at the existing Imperial Irrigation District’s (IID) 92-kV “P” line.

The proposed project involves the constructi­on of a 100-megawatt (MW) alternatin­g current (AC) photovolta­ic (PV) solar energy facility with an integrated 100 MW battery storage system (not to exceed 200 MW) on approximat­ely 531 acres of land. The would include electronic/electrical equipment, an on-site substation, access road(s) and fencing. The electrical energy produced by the project would be conducted through the project’s interconne­ction facilities to the proposed 92 kV generator intertie (gen-tie) line and delivered to the existing IID approved point of interconne­ction on the 92-kV “P” Line.
