Seville 4 Solar Project

Document Description: The project consists of the construction, operation and reclamation of a 146 or 174-acre, 20 MW solar PV energy project on 572.10 acres in a portion of Imperial County APN 018-170-057-000, Lot 8 of Tract Map No. 00988 in west-central. The project would use the existing private access road extending south from Hwy 78 to the Seville Solar Farm Complex. The project would also include internal access roads and infrastructure (i.e. PV modules, inverters, internal transmission lines, security fence, etc.). The project will connect to the existing substation via a tie-in at Lot 3 to an existing pole line that connects the Seville 3 Solar Project to the substation. A 20,000-gallon water tank for fire protection and 14-acre retention basin for stormwater are also proposed on the site.
