Shawn Smallwood, Ph.D. Summary of Testimony The Palen Solar Electric Generating System (“Palen”) would destroy 4,024 acres of wildlife habitat and would put in its place thousands of heliostat mirrors and two power towers that will kill flying birds. I reviewed the Revised Staff Assessment (RSA), Final Staff Assessment (FSA), and related documents to assess project impacts, mostly as they are caused by collisions and thermal injuries to birds. I determined that, given the fatality rates reported for Solar One and given the numbers of fatalities being found at Ivanpah, the fatality rates that would be caused at Palen could far exceed the fatality rates in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area, even though the 500 MW of installed capacity at Palen would be smaller than the 580 MW capacity of wind turbines in the Altamont Pass. The numbers of fatalities coming from Ivanpah reports suggest that avian fatality rates could exceed 20,000 per year. Curtailment and avian deterrent strategies have been proposed as mitigation measures as part of adaptive management at Palen, but these strategies have no record of success and probably would not yield measureable reductions in fatalities.
