The project involves construction of a 450 mw solar facility and a 3 mile long 230 kilovolt transmission line that would connect with southern california edison s colorado substation.
Quartzsite solar energy project.
The project would be located approximately 2 75 miles southwest of the city of blythe just south of the interstate 10 freeway in riverside county california.
It would produce an estimated 100 mw of clean.
The solar fields are made up of heliostats which are a collection of mirrors.
Western proposes to provide transmission interconnection services for the quartzsite solar energy project project a proposed 100 megawatt concentrating solar power plant to western s transmission system at the bouse kofa 161kilovolt transmission line in la paz county arizona.
The proposed concentrating solar power plant would be located on approximately 1 675 acres of land managed by the bureau of land management.
The proposed project would be located approximately six miles north of quartzsite and adjacent to arizona state route 95.
The desert quartzite solar project advances the department of the interior s america first energy plan an all of the above strategy which supports energy development on public lands improving infrastructure and creating jobs in local economies.
The quartzsite solar energy project will employ dry cooling technology which requires a fraction of the water needed for wet cooling.
The project would also include a thermal energy storage system.
Because the proposed project would be located on.
Qse has submitted an interconnection request to western area power administration western to connect.
