Soledad Wind Energy Generation Project 2

Soledad Wind Energy Generation Project 2

Reference SCH #2013031035 The proposed project consists of the installation and operation of a 3.0 MW-103 wind turbine at the city's WRF with the purpose of generating 100 percent renewable electricity. This grid-connected system will be co-located at the WRF and contribute to offsetting the carbon generated by the WRF site. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a sustainable supply of electrical energy which can balance the city's carbon footprint. The proposed turbine would be connected to the power grid to allow sale to PG&E under the renewable market adjusting tariff. The WRF has an existing turbine which was constructed in 2014 (SCH#2012071074) and currently provides a portion of the renewable energy needs of the facility. For the purpose of this document, the project site refers to the area of ground disturbance for construction of the proposed project, and the project area includes the project site and surrounding vicinity. The document also analyzes the cumulative impacts of the first turbine in combination with the installation of the second turbine at the site.
