Document Description
The applicant proposes to establish a utility-scale photovoltaic solar facility with a generating capacity of 3 MW including battery storage to be constructed on approximately 29 acres of Assessor's Parcel Number 048-030-050. The project would include a single 3 MW transformer which would step up the generation voltage to 12-kV distribution voltage to be conveyed to the existing PG&E power distribution line running along the south side of Utica Avenue. An approximately 375-foot gen-tie line would convey the solar generation from the on-site project switchgear and production meter to the point of interconnection with the PG&E system at an existing power pole on the south side of Utica Avenue, approximately 115 feet west of the project site.
