Description:

Clearway Energy Group requests a land use authorization license from the Bureau of Reclamation to construct, operate, and maintain electrical power transmission lines and associated access roads on Reclamation-administered land.  The 230-kilovolt electrical power transmission line would transmit electricity from a solar power generation facility on private land, across Reclamation-administered land, to the Vantage Substation in Grant County, Washington. This Project will serve electricity users in Washington, with the target of serving Grant County specifically.
