McCoy Solar LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources LLC (Applicant), proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission an up-to-750 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generating facility and related infrastructure in unincorporated Riverside County, CA, to be known as the McCoy Solar Energy Project (MSEP or Project). The majority of the MSEP would be developed on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Approximately 477 acres of privately owned land would be included in the proposed solar plant site boundary. The Project would generate and deliver solar-generated power to the CA electrical grid through an interconnection at the Colorado River Substation (CRS) owned by Southern CA Edison (SCE).
