Southern Owens Valley Solar Ranch

Document Description: NOTE: Review Per Lead The Southern Owens Valley Solar Ranch (SOVSR) project is a proposed 200 megawatt (MW) net generating capacity solar energy facility using photovoltaic (PV) panel modules. Two potential sites for SOVSR are under consideration, each consisting of about 3,100 acres and each located on property entirely owned by the City of Los Angeles. Only one of these sites would be developed under the proposed project but both sites will be analyzed in the EIR. It is estimated that the proposed project would generate ~ 440 gigawatt hours the first year of commercial operation. In addition to solar panel modules, the project would include access roads, O&M Building, collection system, and substation.
