Greenlane Medium and Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicle Charging Station, Temporary Truck Parking and Solar Power Generation with Battery Energy Storage System

Greenlane Infrastructure, LLC has proposed the development of a medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle charging station with temporary truck and trailer parking and integrated solar power generation paired with a battery energy storage system on a 37.38-acre site located at 13241 N. Neighbors Boulevard in Blythe, California. The project is structured in phases, with the initial development focusing on the EV charging infrastructure and parking facilities, while the deployment of solar generation and battery storage will be contingent upon market conditions and future feasibility assessments. The site, identified by APNs 824-142-013, 824-142-015, and 824-142-019, is situated north of I-10 and south of Hobsonway, and is zoned under the City of Blythe’s Service-Industrial and General Commercial land use designations, ensuring compatibility with local planning goals. The project has been determined eligible for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines §15183, based on consistency with the City’s General Plan and applicable state environmental code provisions, eliminating the need for extensive environmental review. The City of Blythe is the lead agency overseeing the initiative, with Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager and City Clerk, serving as the primary point of contact for administrative matters. While the project is described as a forecast and was approved by the City Council on October 14, 2025, no formal solicitation, contract number, pricing details, award criteria, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a local government development application rather than a competitive federal procurement. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, delivery terms, or contractor certifications are specified in the submitted materials, and the agreement appears to be based on land use entitlement and permitting rather than a traditional contractual procurement. The primary beneficiaries include Greenlane Infrastructure, LLC as the developer, the City of Blythe as the approving jurisdiction, and the State of California through alignment with broader clean transportation initiatives.
