Document Description
The proposed project is a 280-megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) photovoltaic (PV) solar power facility over approximately 2,030 acres of a 2,670-acre site (including a 135 acre transmission line corridor). Infrastructure improvements would include: an internal electrical collector system; pad-mounted inverters and transformers; two substations; a 4,000 square foot operations and maintenance (O&M) building; security lighting (at the O&M facility; switching station, substations and main project entry location at Highway 41); and improvements to and reconfiguration of existing internal access roads, as well as Highway 41 site access. PG&E would construct a switching station at the site connecting the proposed project to the existing Morro Bay-Gates 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line, which transects the site.
