Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex

Solicitation # 2024110253

The Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex project involves the construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of a 140-megawatt photovoltaic solar and battery energy storage facility in unincorporated Fresno County, California. Spanning approximately 1,172 to 1,212 acres of agricultural land, the project includes three interconnected generation sites, an on-site substation, and a generation-tie line of up to 2 miles connecting to the PG&E Crescent Substation. Additional infrastructure improvements include the reconductoring of 5 linear miles of the PG&E Helm to Crescent 70 kV transmission line and the raising of a portion of the Crescent Switching Station-Schildner 70 kV power line. The project has undergone a comprehensive environmental review process under CEQA, resulting in a Final Environmental Impact Report and a Notice of Determination certifying that the project will not have a significant environmental effect, provided that adopted mitigation measures and monitoring plans are implemented. Key regulatory considerations include the protection of special-status species, such as the Fresno kangaroo rat and blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and compliance with flood control permits and hazardous waste packaging and labeling regulations. The project received approval from the Fresno County Department of Public Works and Planning on May 21, 2026, and from the Westlands Water District on July 21, 2026, with the latter agreeing to provide construction water for up to two years.

Galaxy Solar PV and Storage Project by Galaxy Solar Storage, LLC (Terra-Gen)

Solicitation # PP25404

The Galaxy Solar PV and Storage Project is a large-scale renewable energy initiative led by Galaxy Solar Storage, LLC (Terra-Gen) to develop a 600-megawatt photovoltaic solar facility with up to 4 gigawatt-hours of energy storage capacity on approximately 3,519 acres in southeastern Kern County, California. The project spans 184 privately owned parcels across unincorporated land near Mojave and California City, adjacent to State Route 58, and requires extensive land use modifications including zone changes from A-1 (Limited Agriculture) to A (Exclusive Agriculture) across multiple maps, conditional use permits for solar operations and temporary construction areas, general plan amendments to remove road reservations and reclassify land use designations, and zone variances to accommodate substandard parcel sizes. The project includes the installation of solar panels, inverters, medium-voltage collection lines, transformers, a 230-kV switchyard, an operations and maintenance facility, telecommunications infrastructure, and offsite water storage tanks. A generation-tie line will connect the facility to the existing Windhub Substation, enabling delivery of renewable power to the grid. To facilitate development, multiple vesting tentative parcel maps propose the merger and re-subdivision of 118 parcels into six consolidated parcels totaling over 1,300 acres. Offsite infrastructure requires additional zoning changes and conditional use permits for an off-site switchyard and temporary staging areas. All activities are subject to compliance with Kern County zoning ordinances and environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with public input gathered during a review period ending October 6, 2025. The project aligns with state mandates to achieve 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045 and relies on native revegetation, topsoil restoration, and de-compaction techniques to minimize ecological disruption. No federal contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, or procurement evaluation criteria are included in the documentation, indicating this is a land use and environmental permitting process rather than a federal acquisition. The primary point of contact is Mark Tolentino of Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, with Simon Day of Terra-Gen serving as the developer’s representative.

Conditional Use Permit No. PA-2500420

Solicitation # PA-2500420

Conditional Use Permit No. PA-2500420, managed by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, authorizes the establishment of the North Locust Tree Road Solar Project in Lodi, California. Proposed by RPCA Solar 25, LLC, this utility-scale solar energy system will occupy approximately 18.5 acres of a 20-acre parcel classified as Prime Farmland. The project is designed to generate up to 4 megawatts of alternating current energy, which will be sold to Pacific Gas and Electric Company via an interconnection to their existing electrical distribution system located along the northwest boundary of the site. Construction is expected to take place over a three-year period. To mitigate the impact on agricultural land, the project utilizes driven steel piers for equipment mounting instead of traditional slab foundations, a method intended to prevent soil compaction and allow for the full restoration of agricultural use once the project's operational life concludes. Environmental management strategies include the use of drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly seed mixes under and between solar rows to maintain soil health, promote stability, and reduce erosion. The project has undergone environmental assessments, including a Mitigated Negative Declaration and an Initial Study, to address impacts on biological resources, air quality, water quality, aesthetics, and greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring coordination with the San Joaquin Council of Governments regarding habitat conservation and open space plans.
