Description:

The proposed action is the review and approval of leases that would result in the construction, operation and maintenance, and eventual decommissioning of solar photovoltaic electricity generation and battery storage facilities. This consists of two projects and would have a combined capacity of up to 400 MW of energy.

•        Project one – up to 300 MW

•        Project two – up to 100 MW

The projects would be constructed on up to 3,600 acres of land on the Moapa River Indian Reservation within a 6,000-acre study area. The proposed action would also include the installation of a battery energy storage system and the construction of access roads and overhead collector lines to tie the projects into the regional electrical grid at a previously approved substation.
