Document Description
The project for purposes of CEQA review consists of two components: a 115 kV Generation Tie Line that is the subject of Unclassified Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application No. 3413, and a 115 kV Switching Station that will be constructed under California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) jurisdiction. The 115 kV Generation Tie Line will connect a photovoltaic solar power generation facility that was authorized by CUP No. 3314 in accordance with a MND that was adopted by the Fresno County Planning Commission on April 12, 2012, to the new 115 kV Switching Station, which in turn will be connected to the existing PG&E Mendota Substation. The 115 kV Generation Tie Line will be constructed, owned and operated by North Star Solar, LLC, while the 115 kV Switching Station, which may serve other interconnection customers in the area, will be constructed, owned and operated by PG&E. All improvements associated with this project will be located in the AE-20 Zone District.
