Document Description
Janus Solar PV, LLC has applied to Colusa County for a Use Permit (UP) to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission a solar photovoltaic (PV) power generating facility including solar PV modules, a battery energy storage system (BESS), on-site substation, a gen-tie transmission line, and other necessary supporting infrastructure (Janus Solar and Battery Storage Project (Project)). The Project would generate up to 80 megawatts of alternating current of electricity and store up to 80 megawatts, or 320 megawatt hours (MWh), of electricity on an approximately 886-acre site; only an estimated 666 acres of the site would be used. The Project would connect to the electrical grid at the existing PG&E Cortina Substation via an approx. 4-mile new gen-tie transmission line. Development and Franchise Agreements and a review of Project compatibility with the existing Williamson Act contract is also part of the Project.
