- Document Description
- The Project will consist of the development of a 750-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generating facility in two units and a 13.2 mile double-circuit 230-kilovolt generation-tie transmission line. Unit 1 will be located on the eastern side of the solar plant site and would generate up to 250-MW of power on 2,259 acres, Unit 2 will be located on the western side and would generate up to 500-MW of power on 2,178 acres. The linear facilities (include Phase l) will be located on 136.2 acres for a total of 4,573.2 acres. The Project will result in impacts to 4,532.9 acres of desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizi) habitat. The project is expected to result in incidental take or desert tortoise, which is designated as a threatened species under California Endangered Species Act (CESA). The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
