Description:

Balanced Rock Power proposes to construct a 600-megawatt (MW), alternating current (AC) solar photovoltaic (PV) power generating facility with a battery energy storage system (BESS).  The Project’s primary purpose is to produce 600-MW of energy annually.  The Project site would be located in White Pine County, Nevada on approximately 2,891 acres of lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), approximately 15 miles west of Ely, Nevada.  The Project site would be divided into two areas of BLM-managed land adjacent to and on the east and west sides of another proposed solar project.  The Project would also include a 5.8-mile transmission interconnection line at either 500 or 345 kV to interconnect the project to the existing Robinson Summit Substation.
