In support of this motion, Mojave Solar respectfully states: MOTION TO INTERVENE 1. Mojave Solar is a Delaware limited liability company that is developing a large concentrating solar power project in California. The project will consist of two separate parabolic trough generating units of approximately 125 MW each, for a total net capacity of 250 MW, located on a site near Harper Dry Lake in unincorporated San Bernardino County, California (the “Mojave Solar Project”). Mojave Solar has received market-based rate authority from the Commission,1 and is an “exempt wholesale generator” under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and the Commission’s implementing regulations at 18 C.F.R. §§ 366.1 and 366.7.2 1 Unpublished letter order, Docket No. ER11-3917-000, Aug. 18, 2011. 2 Notice of Self-Certification of Mojave Solar LLC as an Exempt Wholesale Generator, Docket No. EG11- 91-000, June 3, 2011; LWP Lessee, LLC, et al., Docket Nos. EG11-89-000, Notice of Effectiveness of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status, Sept. 19, 2011. 20131024-5058 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 10/24/2013 12:35:25 PM 2. In order to interconnect the Mojave Solar Project and sell its electric output, Mojave Solar’s parent, Abengoa Solar Inc. (“Abengoa Solar”), entered into a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (“LGIA”) with Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) and the California Independent System Operator Corporation (“CAISO”), pursuant to which Mojave Solar will be interconnected to SCE’s transmission lines that are under the operational control of CAISO.3 The Commission has accepted the LGIA for filing.4 Abengoa Solar assigned the LGIA to Mojave Solar on March 23, 2011 and SCE and CAISO consented to the assignment on May 6, 2011. 3. On October 23, 2013 in the subject docket, SCE filed an amendment to the LGIA (“LGIA Amendment”) reflecting: (a) the assignment from Abengoa Solar to Mojave Solar; (b) the revisions to the pro forma large generator interconnection agreement set forth in CAISO Tariff Appendix BB, as conditionally accepted by FERC; (c) the name change of Lockhart Substation to Sandlot Substation; (d) the name change of the Alpha and Beta Generating Units to Alba and Ocaso Generating Units; (e) an updated relay type to SEL 3530; (f) the updated generator, transformer and tie-line data, and description on the one-line diagram; (g) the new defined term First Amendment; (h) the Credit Support deferral as agreed upon by the Parties in a letter agreement dated November 4, 2011; (i) the updated Interconnection Facilities Charge, Interconnection Facilities Cost, Interconnection Facilities Payment, Reliability Network Upgrades Cost, Reliability Upgrades Payment and the associated Credit Support; (j) that the Participating 3 SCE filed the LGIA with the Commission on November 30, 2010, in Docket No. ER11-2204-000. Abengoa Solar filed a Motion to Intervene and Comments on December 16, 2010, supporting SCE’s request that the Commission accept the LGIA for filing. CAISO filed the LGIA with the Commission on December 14, 2010, in Docket No. ER11-2368-000, requesting consolidated consideration of its and SCE’s filings by the Commission. 4 134 FERC ¶ 61,059 (2011). 2 20131024-5058 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 10/24/2013 12:35:25 PM TO has received Abandoned Plant Approval; (k) updated milestones; and (l) other administrative changes. 4. All communications, pleadings and orders with respect to this proceeding should be addressed to the individuals listed below: Frederick Redell, PE Karen B. Wong, Esq. General Manager, Mojave Solar LLC Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP c/o Abengoa Solar LLC 601 South Figueroa Street, 30th Floor 1250 Simms St., Unit 101 Los Angeles, CA 90017-5735 Lakewood, CO 80401 Phone: 213-892-4419 Phone: (303) 323-9152 Fax: 213-629-4000 Fax : (415) 391-2198 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Timothy McMahon James C. Liles Associate Counsel Regulatory Advisor Abengoa Solar LLC Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP The Ordway Building 1850 K Street, N.W., Suite 1100 1 Kaiser Plaza, STE 1675 Washington, D.C. 20006 Oakland, CA 94612 Phone: (202) 835-7545 Phone: (510) 271-4759 Fax: (202) 263-7545 E-mail: E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] 5. Mojave Solar is the interconnection customer under the LGIA and the LGIA Amendment. Accordingly, Mojave Solar has a direct interest in the Commission’s decision in this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by another party. 6. Thus, it is in the public interest to permit Mojave Solar’s intervention in the above captioned proceeding. REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED ACTION 7. Mojave Solar has been informed by SCE that SCE believes it has no justification to request expedited action by the Commission in the instant matter because 3 20131024-5058 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 10/24/2013 12:35:25 PM the commercial operation of the Mojave Solar Project and the applicable services required to be provided by SCE under the LGIA as amended by the LGIA Amendment are not expected to commence until the third quarter of 2014. However, Mojave Solar faces a different set of circumstances that motivate its request for expedited action herein. 8. The changes to the LGIA made by the LGIA Amendment, especially the Group 5 Milestone decision point modifications, reduced upgrade and other potential facilities costs in Appendix A and the revised milestone dates in Appendix B, are particularly important to potential investors in Mojave Solar. Mojave Solar is actively working with potential investors with the goal of closing financing by year-end 2013 and must present them with a clear and accurate depiction of the scope, progress and costs of the network upgrades and the milestones to be carried out by Mojave Solar and SCE in order to give the investors sufficient comfort the Mojave Solar Project will achieve commercial operation and resource adequacy in a timely manner. Securing investors also requires an accurate memorialization of the costs of the network upgrades. 9. The updating of the “other potential facilities” in addition to providing more certain on cost exposure will allow for the release of significant funds to Mojave Solar that are currently tied up in project security accounts under Mojave Solar’s financing documents. As noted above, Mojave Solar is currently in the process of constructing the Mojave Solar Project and closing a financing with potential investors, and the identification of all pledged and unpledged cash sources and uses needs to be finalized. 10. The delay in being able to provide certainty with respect to the provisions included in this LGIA Amendment affects Mojave Solar’s ability to effectively manage 4 20131024-5058 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 10/24/2013 12:35:25 PM and identify the risks and costs associated with the execution of the project and impacts Mojave Solar’s ability to finalize the tax equity financing of Mojave Solar Project. CONCLUSION WHEREFORE, Mojave Solar respectfully requests that the Commission permit it to intervene in this proceeding with all rights attendant with such status and to accept its request for expedited action in this proceeding, so as to issue an order accepting the LGIA Amendment by November 22, 2013. Respectfully submitted, _/s/ Karen B. Wong_ Karen B.

  • Genesis Solar Energy Project PA/FEIS 4.1-1 August 2010 4
    CHAPTER 4 Environmental Consequences 4.1 Introduction This chapter assesses environmental impacts that would occur due to the implementation of proposed action or the alternatives described in Chapter 2. The baseline affected environment, or existing condition, is described in Chapter 3. 4.1.1 Analytical Assumptions The following impacts analysis was conducted with the following assumptions: 1. The laws, regulations, and policies applicable to BLM authorizing ROW grants for renewable energy development facilities would be applied consistently for all action alternatives. 2. The proposed facility would be constructed, operated, maintained and decommissioned as described in each action alternative. 3. Short-term impacts are those expected to occur during the construction phase and the first five years of the operation and maintenance phase. Long-term impacts are those that would occur after the first five years of operation. 4.1.2 Types of Effects The potential impacts from those actions that would have direct, indirect, and cumulative effects were considered for each resource. Effects and impacts as used in this document are synonymous and could be beneficial or detrimental. Direct effects are caused by the action and occur at the same time and place as the action; indirect effects are caused by the action and occur later in time or further in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. 40 CFR 1508.8. Cumulative impacts are those effects resulting from the incremental impacts of an action when combined with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions (regardless of which agency or person undertakes such actions). 40 CFR 1508.7. Cumulative impacts could result from individually insignificant but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.

  • Operation Construction Development
    Major Solar Projects in the United States Operating, Under Construction, or Under Development Updated March 7, 2016 Overview This list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of solar projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with individual developers. It is not a comprehensive list of all major solar projects under development. This list may be missing smaller projects that are not publicly announced. Particularly, many smaller projects located outside of California that are built on a short time-scale may be underrepresented on this list. Also, SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics and timelines. SEIA will remove a project if it is publicly announced that it has been cancelled. SEIA actively promotes public policy that minimizes regulatory uncertainty and encourages the accelerated deployment of utility-scale solar power. This list includes ground-mounted solar power plants 1 MW and larger.
