Savira Solar Project

Savira Solar Project

Savira Renewables, LLC (“Applicant”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Clearway Energy Group LLC, proposes to construct the Savira Solar Project, a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) electrical generating and storage facility and associated infrastructure to generate and deliver renewable electricity to the statewide electricity transmission grid. The Project would generate up to approximately 150 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy via arrays of solar PV panels. Project facilities include an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) building, a Project substation, and up to approximately 250 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and access driveways. The Savira Solar Project would include a 230 kilovolt (kV) substation. From there, the solar energy generated by the Project would be transmitted via the new approximately 2-mile-long, 230 kV gen-tie line, located on land managed by the BLM. managed by the BLM. The BLM will prepare and rely on its own environmental review document in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act. The Commercial Operation Date (COD) of the Project is anticipated in 2028. The Project would operate for a minimum of 40 years. At the end of its useful life, the Project would be decommissioned and the land returned to its pre-Project conditions. Revegetation would be conducted in accordance with an approved Decommissioning and Revegetation Plan, and revegetation success would depend on the climatic conditions in the area at the time of decommissioning. The Applicant is seeking a minimum 40-year CUP (CUP240027) for the construction, operation, and decommissioning of the proposed solar and battery facility and gen-tie line. Ancillary permits, including grading and construction permits, and certificates of occupancy, are anticipated from the County. These permits and approvals are local ministerial actions that will follow California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance.
