Document Description
IP Oberon, LLC, a subsidiary of Intersect Power, LLC, proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission a 500 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generating station, battery energy storage facility, electrical substation, gen-tie lines and associated access roads on approximately 5,000 acres of BLM managed land in Riverside County, California. The proposed Oberon Renewable Energy Project would interconnect to Southern California Edison's (SCE) 500 kV Red Bluff Substation via one new 500 kV gen-tie line. The proposed 500-kV gen-tie line would be located within one 175-foot ROW, running approximately southeast from the solar facility, across SLM-administered land, to the existing SCE Red Bluff Substation. All of the lands within the Project application area are within the California Desert Conservation Area (COCA) Planning Area, within a Development Focus Area (DFA) pursuant to the Desert Renewable l:nergy Conservation Plan (DRECP) and associated ROD.
