The company will use 40MWdc of solar modules, which it secured as part of the acquisition. It will provide the remaining modules play store for the power plant as well as project development, engineering, procurement play store and construction, and grid integration services.
Previously, SG2 Imperial Valley filed an application with the Imperial County Planning & Development Services Department seeking separate conditional use permits for solar facilities totaling 200MW on four discrete sites totaling 2,009 acres in Alhambra, Arkansas, Mayflower, and Sonora.
Additionally, the developers have an interconnection request with the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) via either the IID's 161kV 'M' transmission line (Alhambra, Arkansas and Mayflower sites) or the IID's 230kV Midway-Bannister transmission play store line (Sonora site).
