Tulare 40 Generation Facility Project (PSP 23-012)

Tulare 40 Generation Facility Project (PSP 23-012)

Coldwell Solar 1, LLC (Applicant) is proposing the construction and operation of the Tulare 40 Generation Facility Project, an approximate 40-megawatt (MW) solar generation facility on two parcels totaling approximately 160 acres in western Tulare County, California. The Project site development area is located both north and south of Avenue 208, west of Road 164. The installation would comprise approximately 68,040 single axis mounted solar modules, rated at 650 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 650 watts. In addition to the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules, the proposed development area of the Project would include the construction of an on-site substation, wiring and inverters, fence, access roads, and a new very short distribution interconnect power line to the existing substation located directly adjacent to the Project location at the Southern California Edison (SCE) Bliss Substation. The southern development area of the Project would potentially include a 20 (MW) storage component in the form of batteries. The life of the Project is anticipated to be 35 years.
