Document Description
The project proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and provide for future decommissioning of the Sonrisa Solar Project (Project), a photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity generating facility on approximately 2,000 acres in Fresno County. The Project would use ground-mounted single axis tracking arrays and intermittently store electricity using lithium-ion batteries. The Project would have a generating capacity of up to 200 megawatts alternating current (MWAC) and a battery storage capacity of 184 MWAC (with battery duration of approximately 4 hours). The Project would transfer five parcels for PV solar development from the Scarlet Solar Project and extend a shared generation tie line (gen-tie) to serve both facilities. The Project would connect to the electrical grid via an approximately 0.2-mile extension to an existing approximately 3.3 mile long 230 kilovolt (kV) gen-tie to interconnect to the existing PG&E owned Tranquillity Switching Station. The project is anticipated to have an operational life span of 35 years.
