U.S. Bureau of Land Management commissioning two solar + storage projects in CaliforniaAccording to media reports, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, has facilitated the deployment of 15 green energy projects in the Midwest and will be regulating two solar energy storage projects already operating in California. The Oberon Solar Energy Storage Project is one of two projects operating in California, deployed by developer Intersect Power, and consists of a 500 MW solar farm and an accompanying 250 MW rechargeable battery storage system software.
Oberon Solar Energy Storage Project Intersect Power received capital permits for the project from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in July 2022, and since then, the company has realized $3.1 billion in financing for the 2.2GW project component, of which the Oberon Solar Storage Project is a part. Another full-service project is the Arlington Solar Energy Center in Riverside County, California, USA, developed by NextEra Energy, which includes a 364MW solar farm and 242MW of rechargeable battery storage system software. The company previously built another solar energy storage project in the neighborhood with an installed capacity of 485MW of solar farms. In Ohio, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conducted a status analysis of a 700MW solar storage project called Ranegras Plains Energy Center, which is wholly owned and operated by solar real estate developer Savon Enterprises. |
