AI Contract Overview

The Heber 1 Parasitic Solar Energy Project involves the development of a 20 megawatt solar energy facility and an interconnecting medium voltage cable line in unincorporated Imperial County, California. The facility is designed as a behind-the-meter system to provide parasitic load power to offset the auxiliary load of the existing Heber 1 Geothermal Plant, meaning it will not connect to or generate power for the transmission grid. The project will be located on approximately 121.44 acres of land, including a 106.19-acre solar field and a cable route of approximately 15.25 acres. Construction is anticipated to take 16 to 19 months starting in late 2025, spanning site preparation, project construction, and switch development and interconnection. The project is subject to a Conditional Use Permit and comprehensive environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Key requirements include compliance with fugitive dust regulations, the implementation of a Water Quality Management Plan, and the execution of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Extensive biological and cultural assessments have been conducted, including surveys for western burrowing owls, bat acoustics, and avian populations, as well as tribal cultural resource consultations. The project requires the use of approved botanical field surveyors and the implementation of a mandatory education program for all construction personnel. Additionally, the project applicant must participate in the Imperial County Public Benefit Program and enter into a public benefit agreement to cover associated costs and fees.

Full Description

Show more
The project applicant proposes to develop a 20 megawatt solar energy facility and interconnecting cable line (gen-tie line) that would provide parasitic load to the existing Heber 1 Geothermal Plant. The solar energy facility would provide behind-the-meter power used to offset the auxiliary load of the existing Heber 1 Geothermal Plant. The solar energy facility would not connect to or generate power that will enter the transmission grid; rather, the solar energy facility would be entirely behind-the-meter and would serve as an integrated part of the operation of the existing Heber 1 Geothermal Plant. There are three route options proposed, of which only one will be chosen, for the medium voltage cable that would connect the new 20 MW solar energy facility to the existing Heber 1 Geothermal Plant.

Power Purchase Agreement For Solar Photovoltaic Systems
Solicitation # 26-27-04
The Chino Valley Unified School District is soliciting proposals for a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement to develop, install, own, and operate approximately 5.5 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity across three district-owned sites in Chino, California. The selected provider is responsible for the entire project lifecycle, including design, Department of State Architect approval, construction, and ongoing maintenance, with the goal of selling generated energy back to the District. Parking canopy systems are highly preferred, while roof-mounted systems are strictly prohibited. The District requires a solution with no out-of-pocket costs, including legal and inspection fees, and a production guarantee of at least 90 percent of estimated annual output. Proposals are due by October 5, 2026, and will be evaluated based on a 150-point scale focusing on pricing, expertise, technical specifications, and team qualifications. Key requirements for respondents include a California Class B license, DIR registration, a Worker's Compensation Experience Modification Rate of 1.25 or less, and a clean safety record with CAL OSHA over the last five years. Financial guarantees include a 100 percent construction cost performance and payment bond for one year and a 500,000 dollar letter of credit to be held until DSA closeout.
