Capella Solar Project by Heliogen SR1, LLC

Heliogen, SR1, LLC (Heliogen) is proposing to design, construct, operate, maintain, and decommission an approximate 5-megawatt (MW) modular commercial concentrating solar power plant (CSP) with a supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycle and solid media thermal (TES), which is comprised of an approximately 117-acre field of computer-controlled heliostat mirrors focusing solar energy on receiver apertures on top of an approximate 330-foot-tall, centralized power tower, and ancillary structures, such as a 0.5-acre photovoltaic solar array, and a 9,800 square foot operations and maintenance building. The project would be operated as a test facility. Implementation of the project as proposed includes the following requests: • Zone Change Case No. 63, Map No. 213 o From zone classification A-1 (Limited Agriculture) to A (Exclusive Agriculture) on approximately 142 acres • Issuance of Conditional Use Permit No. 70, Map No. 213 o To allow for the construction and operation of a 5 MW concentrated thermal solar facility with an ancillary solar photovoltaic component and associated infrastructure. • A request for a Non-Summary Vacation of a portion of Farlin Street within the project boundary.
