Shoals Energy Storage Permit Adjustment

The Shoals Energy Storage Permit Adjustment modifies existing Conditions of Approval to strengthen coordination between the project and the City of Oxnard during both construction and operational phases. Key conditions revised include reporting of major incidents, construction phasing, upgrades to Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technology, compliance with the Public Utility Code and emergency response planning, and adherence to Ventura County Fire Protection District standards for Electrical Energy Storage Systems. These conditions serve as binding operational and safety requirements rather than federal contract clauses, with no FAR provisions applicable. The project is located on Gonzales Road, approximately 0.54 miles west of Oxnard in unincorporated Ventura County, California, and was approved on September 16, 2025, under the California Environmental Quality Act. The County of Ventura’s Resource Management Agency, Planning Division, acts as the approving authority, with Thomas Chaffee serving as the primary point of contact. No contract value, pricing, payment details, evaluation criteria, or formal solicitation process is documented, as this is an administrative permit adjustment under local environmental regulations rather than a competitive procurement. The applicant, Wellhead Power Solutions, LLC, is identified, but no UEI, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are provided. There is no formal list of attachments, inspection criteria under recognized standards, packaging requirements, or delivery schedule specified. The adjustment is implemented through enforceable regulatory conditions aligned with Ventura County’s General Plan and state utility codes.
