The Rice Airfield is completely flat, slightly sloping to the Southeast, “previously disturbed land”, with ample water approximately 7 miles from the approved transmission tie-in location; measured and documented intense sunshine coverage, and the proven ability to gain all necessary California Energy Commission Approvals for construction of a 150MW CSP facility. The Bureau of Land Management recently suggested one way to proceed getting the Rice Solar Site built and onto the Existing Grid System in today’s market; could be to divide the property into three (3) smaller separate photovoltaic electricity facilities. EACH facility “Under Fifty (50) Megawatts”; according to BLM, (49 Megawatt Photovoltaic Electricity production facilities can be Approved by the county without needing the California Energy Commission’s Review or Approval) – taking years off of the normal approval process and minimal worries about being able to get your power onto the grid system.
