SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EDF
Renewable Energy has applied for a
Right-of-Way (ROW) from the BLM to
construct, operate, maintain, and
decommission a 500 megawatt (MW)
solar photovoltaic facility near Desert
Center, Riverside County, California.
The ROW application area comprises
about 4,200 acres, with a proposed
project footprint of about 3,400 acres.
The proposed project also includes
construction of a 6.7-mile single circuit
230 kilovolt generation interconnection
(gen-tie) transmission line connecting
the project to the Southern California
Edison (SCE) Red Bluff Substation.
The BLM is also considering an
amendment to the CDCA Plan that

would be necessary to authorize the
project. This is a joint EIS/EIR for
compliance with NEPA and CEQA.
Riverside County is the lead agency
under CEQA.
This Project application was
originally submitted in 2007 as the
Palen Solar Power Project (PSPP) by
Palen Solar I, LLC (PSI), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Solar Millennium.
The PSPP was proposed as a solar
trough project, and was the subject of an
EIS under NEPA. The BLM, pursuant to
its obligations under FLPMA and NEPA,
published a Draft EIS, followed by a
Proposed Resource Management Plan
Amendment (RMP) and Final EIS on
May 13, 2011 (76 FR 28064).
Before the BLM issued a Record of
Decision (ROD), PSI informed the BLM
that it would not construct the Project
due to bankruptcy. As a result, the BLM
did not issue a ROD, did not amend the
RMP, and did not issue a ROW grant for
the PSPP.
On June 21, 2012, the bankruptcy
court approved the transfer of the
application from PSI to Palen Solar III,
LLC (PSIII). BrightSource Energy Inc.,
(BSE) then acquired all rights to PSIII at
auction. PSIII submitted a revised ROW
application to the BLM for the Palen
Solar Electricity Generating System
Project (PSEGS), a 500 MW
concentrating solar power tower
technology facility and single-circuit
230 kV gen-tie line. On July 27, 2013,
the BLM issued a Draft Supplemental
EIS and Plan Amendment to evaluate
the potential additional environmental
impacts caused by PSEGS. As part of the
State permitting process, the California
Energy Commission evaluated the
PSEGS under CEQA, and issued
Preliminary and Final Staff Assessments
for the amended project in June and
November of 2013, respectively.
The BLM did not issue a Final
Supplemental EIS for the PSEGS Project
because BSE and its partner, Abengoa
Solar Inc., abandoned the State
authorization proceedings at the
California Energy Commission. In
December 2015, EDF Renewable Energy
acquired the PSEGS project. EDF
Renewable Energy has submitted a
revised ROW application for the
Proposed Project, which is analyzed in
