5 Beacon Project Objectives To construct, operate and maintain an efficient, economic, reliable, safe and environmentally-sound solar powered generating facility To meet the State of California objectives mandated by SB 1078 (California Renewable Portfolio Standard Program) To meet the State of California objectives of AB 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) 5
6 6 Location of Project:
7 Project Overview Electrical output of 250 megawatts Project will use proven parabolic trough mirror solar thermal technology Solar energy will provide 100 percent of the power generated by the plant Project will utilize two auxiliary boilers fueled by natural gas to reduce startup time and to provide freeze protection for the heat transfer fluid 7
8 8 Project Site and Surrounding
9 9 Solar Parabolic Trough Mirrors
10 10 Parabolic Troughs
11 11 Solar Trough Collector Loop
12 Project Components A roughly 2,000 acre site containing: Solar arrays Power block with steam turbine and cooling tower Evaporation ponds Rerouted drainage channel Administration building and other facilities A new 17.6-mile, eight-inch gas pipeline along Neuralia Road to connect the Project to an existing Southern California Gas Company pipeline west of California City A new approximately 3 mile transmission line to connect the Project to the Barren Ridge Substation (2 options being considered) 12
13 Why this site? Kern County- excellent solar resource Site previously disturbed by intensive farming Close proximity to transmission infrastructure, making it an ideal site in terms of minimizing environmental impacts Site has available water resources to allow wet cooling in order to optimize power generation efficiency and reduce Project cost 13
14 Mojave Desert Source: NREL.gov 14
15 Environmental Review Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geological Resources and Hazards Hazardous Materials Handling Land Use Noise Paleontological Resources Public Health Socioeconomics Soils Traffic and Transportation Transmission System Safety & Nuisance Visual Resources Waste Management Water Resources Worker Safety Highlighted topics are discussed in this presentation 15
16 Biological Resources Site is largely disturbed due to previous intensive agricultural operations Extensive biological surveys have been performed Some habitat (<6 acres) for desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel will be impacted west of the site along the transmission line route Biological permitting with the California Dept. of Fish and Game and U.S Fish and Wildlife Service has been initiated Proposed mitigation would ensure that impacts are reduced to less than significant levels 16
17 Geologic Hazards Two California designated earthquake fault zones are present within the site All Project structures will be designed to meet Seismic Zone 4 Critical structures such as the power block, evaporation ponds and administration buildings will be placed outside the designated fault zones 17
18 Land Use Consistency Project site is almost completely vacant and significantly disturbed from past agricultural activities Consistent with Zoning ordinance (Exclusive Agriculture or Limited Agriculture) General Plan (GP) Land Use designations: Majority of plant site is designated for Resource uses (consistent with GP) Northern portion of the plant site has a residential land use designation (will need a GP Amendment) 18
19 Visual Resources Project structure, stacks and transmission line structures will be a neutral color and surfaces will be non-reflective No significant glare would be expected From elevated locations at certain times of the day, the facility would contrast substantially with the surrounding environment (resemble a body of water) Transmission line will cross Highway 14 19
20 20 Plant site without simulated Project facilities
21 21 Plant site with simulated Project facilities
22 22 Transmission Line Route Existing Conditions
23 23 Transmission Line Route with Simulated Facilities
24 Water Resources Water is needed for: Wet cooling tower for power plant cooling Industrial uses (process water makeup, mirror washing, etc.) Employee use (drinking, showers, sinks, and toilets) Supplied by existing onsite wells (without significant effects on other users or on the groundwater basin) Alternative water sources are continuing to be investigated 24
25 Project Water Supply Wells and Desert Wash Diversion 25
26 Groundwater Usage Project located in the Koehn Sub-basin of the Fremont Valley Groundwater Basin Groundwater dropped feet during agricultural pumping, but has since recovered feet in local wells The Fremont Valley Groundwater Basin has a storage capacity of about 5M acre-feet Project will use 1,600 acre feet per year Project will not significantly affect groundwater recharge, instead it will slow the rate of recovery 26
27 Project Schedule Construction to begin in 2009 with a goal of completion in 2011 Project is to be owned and operated by Beacon Solar LLC The new natural gas pipeline will be owned and operated by the Southern California Gas Company 27
