Note: Response to Comments The applicant is requesting approval to construct and operate a solar PV power-generating facility with a capacity of 20 megawatts of electricity. The facility would consist of the following project components: (1) PV modules and support structures; (2) direct current (DC) to alternating current inverters and transformers; (3) additional electrical equipment; (4) interconnection point (dual circuit 12-kilovolt [kV] generation tie-line [gen-tie]) and equipment; (5) telecommunications equipment; (6) a meteorological data collection system with battery regulator; (7) an unoccupied switchgear building with battery bank and UPS; and (8) security improvements. The proposed project requires a CUP to construct and operate a solar facility and a GPA to the Circulation Element of the Kern County General Plan to remove the midsection line reservations of Sections 27 and 35 of Township 25S, R19E for the project. The proposed GPA will also include the eastern section line of Section 27 and the northern and eastern section lines of Section 35.
