A generation-tie line will connect the facility to the existing Windhub Substation, enabling delivery of renewable power to the grid. To facilitate development, multiple vesting tentative parcel maps propose the merger and re-subdivision of 118 parcels into six consolidated parcels totaling over 1,300 acres. Offsite infrastructure requires additional zoning changes and conditional use permits for an off-site switchyard and temporary staging areas. All activities are subject to compliance with Kern County zoning ordinances and environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with public input gathered during a review period ending October 6, 2025. The project aligns with state mandates to achieve 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045 and relies on native revegetation, topsoil restoration, and de-compaction techniques to minimize ecological disruption. No federal contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, or procurement evaluation criteria are included in the documentation, indicating this is a land use and environmental permitting process rather than a federal acquisition. The primary point of contact is Mark Tolentino of Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, with Simon Day of Terra-Gen serving as the developer’s representative.

Grace Solar Energy CenterThe Grace Solar Energy Center project, formerly known as the Palo Verde Mesa Solar Project, involves a significant revision to expand its scale and infrastructure, increasing the photovoltaic facility’s capacity from 463.5 MW to 500 MW and adding a配套 500 MW battery energy storage system. The site’s land use has been adjusted from 3,250 to 3,310 acres, with transmission modifications including a new 1.9-mile 230-kV line connecting to an existing 8.6-mile right-of-way that feeds into the Southern California Edison Colorado River Substation, resulting in a total 10.5-mile transmission corridor. A portion of this line, measuring 158 feet, crosses a County of Riverside public right-of-way, necessitating a public use permit, while the remainder of the corridor operates on private or federal land outside county jurisdiction. Land use approvals under Conditional Use Permit CUP03684R01, Public Use Permit PUP00916R01, and Development Agreement DA0086A01 are integral to the project’s legal framework, with the latter being mandatory under Riverside County Ordinance No. 348 and Policy B-29, which require a binding development agreement before any solar project approval. The Bureau of Land Management land expansion from 28 to 395 acres falls outside the scope of these revisions. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, requiring a finalized Environmental Impact Report, mitigation monitoring plan, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, with environmental compliance and ongoing oversight handled by Riverside County. All financial transactions related to permits and fees were processed through Tyler Payments, with regulatory fees totaling $4,277.50 paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and other county administrative charges. The project is located approximately 2.8 miles north of Interstate 10, west of Blythe, California, with primary coordination managed by the Riverside County Planning Department and the applicant, Boulevard Associates, LLC, through Senior Project Manager Brendan Lewis and County Senior Planner Dat Tran. No federal acquisition clauses, contract types, pricing structures, or procurement-specific representations are present, as the documentation reflects state and local land-use approvals rather than a federal contract.
