Document Description
Rosemary Solar, LLC proposes to construct, operate, maintain, and decommission the Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex in unincorporated Fresno County. The project would generate up to approximately 140 megawatts alternating current (MWac) and include energy storage capacity of up to 8 hours of 140 MWac. Related facilities and infrastructure would include O&M buildings, parking, and an onsite substation. The Project site is comprised of approximately 1,172 acres and an up-to 2-mile-long generation-tie line via 1 of 4 possible paths to deliver power to the existing Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) 70 kilovolt (kV) Crescent Substation, which would be the Project point of interconnection with the grid. The EIR also will analyze impacts of reconductoring 5 linear miles of the PG&E Helm to Crescent 70 kV electric transmission line.
