230th Street Solar Project

230th Street Solar Project

RPCA Solar 12, LLC (Applicant) proposes to construct and operate the 230th Street Solar Facility (Project) that consists of a single-axis tracker ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) community solar panels and battery energy storage system (BESS) facility that would generate up to a total of up to 4.99 megawatts (MW) of alternating current (AC) in capacity. The U.S. Department of Energy defines "community solar" as any solar project or purchasing program, within a geographic area, in which the benefits flow to multiple customers such as individual businesses, nonprofits, and other groups. Community solar customers typically subscribe to-or in some cases own-a portion of the energy generated by a solar array, and receive an electric bill credit for electricity generated by their share of the community solar system. The Project would occupy approximately 31 acres (Project Site) of a 39-acre parcel (Los Angeles County Assessor Parcel Number [APN] 3278-025-001) generally located at 49560 230t h Street W near the community of Lancaster. The Applicant is requesting Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval from the County. The Project would consist of the following components: solar modules, BESS, underground electrical conductors, Balance of System Equipment, access roads, and fencing. The Project would be interconnected to an existing electrical distribution system owned by Southern California Edison (SCE) located southwest of and adjacent to the Project Site along 230t h Street W.
