Description:
Bonanza Solar, LLC proposes to construct, operate, and decommission a 300 MW solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system electrical generation plant and associated facilities on approximately 5,133 acres (note: project sponsor would consider a project size up to 600 MW if sufficient land area was available). The project proposes to include:
- A main access road;
- a secondary access for emergency purposes;
- 230 kV gen-tie;
- power blocks of electrical generating capacity;
- power collection and power conversion systems;
- battery energy storage system;
- an on-site electrical substation;
- an on-site operations and maintenance building;
- temporary construction laydown areas within the project fence line;
- a roadway system consisting of internal and perimeter roadways within the project fence line;
- microwave/communication tower;
- site security, fencing, and lighting; and
- meteorological stations.
The proposed project site is entirely on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Southern Nevada District. The proposed project would be on Solar Variance lands as identified in the 2012 Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States (Solar PEIS).
NOTE: All Actions and Milestones scheduled after the "Agency Application Evaluation & Variance Determination" are subject to a favorable determination by the Agency to continue processing the application.
