The proposed McCoy Solar Energy Project (MSEP or Project) would be an up-to 750 megawatt (MW) net alternating current solar power generating installation located in an unincorporated portion of Riverside County. The Project will utilize photovoltaic (PV) technology for the generation of solar energy. The entire 750 MW Project would be comprised of two power units - Unit 1 with a capacity of 250 MW and Unit 2 with a capacity of up to 500 MW. The project would be developed over an area of ~4,315 acres of federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and 477 acres of private land, plus an ~15.5 mile long transmission line right-of-way.
