AI Contract Overview

The Rosamond South Solar Project, managed by Golden Fields Solar IV, LLC, involves the construction and operation of photovoltaic solar facilities and associated infrastructure on approximately 1,302 acres of privately owned land in unincorporated Kern County, California. The project is designed to generate up to 165 megawatt alternating current of renewable energy and includes energy storage capacity of up to 245 MW or 980 megawatt hours. A critical component of the project's regulatory compliance involves the management of the incidental take of 1,354 western Joshua trees, which are protected under the California Endangered Species Act and the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act. The project has undergone several permit amendments to adjust the number of impacted trees and refine preservation conditions. The most recent update, Amendment No. 4 to Incidental Take Permit No. 1927-ITP-2023-018-04, modifies the Western Joshua Tree Preservation Condition of Approval and extends the deadline for the recordation of the required conservation easement.
