Orleans Solar-Storage Project

Adapture Renewables, Inc. through its affiliate Orleans Energy Center, LLC is proposing the Orleans Solar-Storage Project on approximately 160 acres of privately owned land in unincorporated western Fresno County, California. The project includes a 25-megawatt alternating current photovoltaic solar energy facility coupled with a 25-megawatt alternating current battery energy storage system capable of storing up to 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, providing up to eight hours of discharge capacity. The development will feature an onsite electrical substation, internal wiring and collection infrastructure, and a new 1-mile, 70-kilovolt generation-tie line to connect to the existing Pacific Gas and Electric Company Giffen Substation. The project aims to enhance grid reliability and support renewable energy goals in the region by integrating solar generation with scalable storage. All development activities are subject to regional planning and environmental review processes overseen by Fresno County. The primary point of contact for the project is Arianna Brown, Planner at Fresno County, reachable at [phone hidden] or [email hidden]. Additional contacts include Sarah Spann, Principal Environmental Planner at Stantec, and Chrissy Gaglione, Development Manager at Adapture Renewables. The project has been posted under a forecast notice with a public record identifier of 2026080074 and is anticipated to proceed through environmental assessments and permitting phases in the coming years. The location of performance is designated as Fresno, California, with the zip code 93608, indicating the general area of impact. No formal solicitation number or set-aside classification has been assigned, as this is a private development proposal requiring local regulatory approval rather than a competitive government procurement.
