ENTERPRISE SOLAR STORAGE PROJECT by Enterprise Solar Storage, LLC

The Enterprise Solar Storage Project, led by Enterprise Solar Storage, LLC, involves the construction, operation, and maintenance of a utility-scale photovoltaic solar energy facility spanning approximately 2,643 acres in southeastern Kern County, California, near Mojave and California City. The project includes PV solar arrays, energy storage systems, substations, transmission lines, on-site water infrastructure, and ancillary facilities across four non-contiguous sites. As part of its development, the project will impact approximately 2,643 acres of scrub vegetation, which serves as low to moderate habitat for protected species under the California Endangered Species Act, including the desert tortoise, Mohave ground squirrel, and western burrowing owl. To legally proceed, an Incidental Take Permit issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife authorizes the unavoidable, incidental harm to these species, contingent upon the implementation of comprehensive mitigation and monitoring measures. Minor Amendment No.1 expanded the list of authorized permittees under this permit. The project’s regulatory compliance is overseen by Kern County as the lead agency and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as the responsible agency, operating under the California Environmental Quality Act and related state statutes. Environmental filing fees have been paid, and adherence to a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan is a condition of approval. No federal acquisition regulations, contract pricing data, or federal procurement-specific clauses are applicable, as this is purely a state-regulated environmental permitting and development project. Performance is localized to the designated site areas, with administrative oversight and acceptance handled through Kern County’s Planning and Natural Resources Department in Bakersfield. There is no defined contract value, delivery schedule, or procurement-based invoicing system, as the underlying instrument is a regulatory permit rather than a standard federal contract.
