COYOTE CREEK AGRIVOLTAIC RANCH PROJECT

COYOTE CREEK AGRIVOLTAIC RANCH PROJECT

Sacramento Valley Energy Center, LLC is requesting a use permit to construct and operate a 200-megawatt (MW), alternating current, photovoltaic (PV) solar energy facility on parcels that total approximately 2,555 acres in the Cosumnes community of unincorporated Sacramento County. The project is generally located south of U.S. Route 50, northwest of Rancho Murieta, southeast of the Prairie City State Vehicle Recreation Area (PCSVRA), and south of White Rock Road in the Cosumnes community. Specifically, it is located on what is known as the “Barton Ranch” adjacent to 3830 Scott Road. A dedicated transmission line called a generation tie (gen-tie) line would extend approximately 1.3 miles west to provide an interconnection to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) 230 kilovolt (kV) powerline which runs through PCSVRA. The assessor parcel numbers for the gen-tie alignment are 072-3160-002, 072-0100-027, 072-0100-018, 072-0110-031, and 072-0110-068. The applicant is proposing to construct, operate, and at the end of the project’s life, decommission a solar generation and energy storage facility. The development area will include an on-site substation, inverters, fencing, roads, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Energy storage facilities would be developed at a centralized location or distributed throughout the project site.
