Easley Renewable Energy Project

Easley Renewable Energy Project

IP Easley, LLC, a subsidiary of Intersect Power, LLC, proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission an up to 400 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generating station, an up to 650 MW battery energy storage facility, electrical substation, generation-tie (gen-tie) transmission line, and associated access roads on approximately 3,700 acres of private land and public land managed by the United State Bureau of Land Management (BLM) near Desert Center in Riverside County, California. A 6.7-mile 500 kilovolt (kV) generation-tie (gen-tie) line would mainly traverse across the Oberon Renewable Energy Project site and connect into an existing substation on the Oberon site, an adjacent solar and energy storage facility owned by Intersect Power. From the Oberon onsite substation, the power generated by the Easley Project would be transmitted to the SCE Red Bluff Substation via the existing Oberon 500 kV gen-tie line. Construction is anticipated to take up to 20 months depending on Power Purchase Agreements and financial requirements.
