Redonda and Bajada Solar Projects

Redonda PV LLC and Bajada Renewables LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Clearway Energy Group LLC and the applicants of the Redonda Solar Project (Redonda) and the Bajada Solar Project (Bajada), respectively. Redonda is proposed on up to 887 acres of federal land managed by the BLM and includes a 200-megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generating facility, a 250-MW battery energy storage system (BESS), access roads, and other appurtenant facilities. It would connect to the regional energy grid at the existing Arica/Victory Pass substation on the Arica/Victory Pass project site via an approximately 2.1-mile 230-kilovolt (kV) generation tie (gen-tie) line. From the Arica/Victory Pass substation, the Redonda project’s generated power would be transmitted to the Southern California Edison (SCE) Red Bluff Substation via the existing Arica/Victory Pass gen-tie line. Bajada proposes a 350 MW AC solar PV energy generating facility and an approximately 350 MW BESS within a 2,740-acre ROW area on BLM-administered public lands. An operations and maintenance (O&M) building, project substation, onsite roads and access driveways, fencing and site security also are proposed. As proposed, Bajada includes a new, approximately 8.5-mile-long, 230 kV gen-tie line to the existing SCE Red Bluff Substation. The gen-tie ROW would be 150 feet wide and cover approximately 155 acres. The roads ROW would be approximately 15 miles and cover 55 acres.
