San Luis West Solar Project

San Luis West Solar, LLC proposes to construct and operate the San Luis West Solar Project (Project). The Project will consist of a 125-megawatt (mW) solar photovoltaic (PV) electric generation facility coupled with an estimated 30 mW battery energy storage system (BESS). The PV portion of the facility will produce electricity by way of the photovoltaic effect, which uses a semi-conductor material to convert photons from the Sun into electrons, for injection into the electrical grid operated by PG&E. The BESS portion of the facility will store electricity either generated by the PV arrays or absorbed from the PG&E grid. In either case, the BESS will make the stored energy available for discharge during periods of peak electrical load. The Project facility includes approximately 770 acres of solar panels and associated infrastructure, including the Project substation, BESS, operations and maintenance (O&M) building, and other associated equipment such as overhead and underground medium voltage collection lines. Project infrastructure will also include approximately 10 additional acres of transmission easement areas for underground and overhead medium voltage collection lines situated along and within existing farm roads. The Project Area, which encompasses all areas of temporary and permanent impacts, is approximately 1,100 acres.
