Document Description
Project Description: The Project includes the construction and operation of the Tulare 40 Generation Facility (Project), an approximate 40-megawatt (MW) solar generation facility. The installation would comprise approximately 129,000 fixed axis mounted solar modules, rated at 410 watts per module. It should be noted that watts per module may increase at time of Project construction; however, for planning purposes we have included an approximate module output of 410 watts. In addition to the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules, both the north and south proposed development areas of the proposed Project would include the construction of an on-site substation, wiring and inverters, fence, access roads, and a new distribution interconnect power line (on existing poles) along public road rights of way to the existing substation located approximately 5.4 linear miles southeast of the Project location at the Southern California Edison (SCE) Bliss Substation. The southern proposed development areas of the Project would potentially include a 5 megawatt-hour (MWhr) storage component in the form of batteries.
