BLM approves 300-MW Sunlight Storage II project in Southern California

A NextEra Energy Resources subsidiary won approval from the US BLM to build a 300 MW battery energy storage project at a solar farm in CA’s desert.

The newest project will add to the 230 MW Desert Sunlight Battery Energy Storage System that BLM said in August was fully operational. It’s on 94 acres of BLM-managed public land near Desert Center in Riverside County.

All Desert Sunlight Solar facilities, including the newly-approved Sunlight Storage II Battery Energy Storage System, are in an area analyzed and identified as suitable for renewable energy development in BLM’s Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, which is focused on 10.8 million acres of public land in the desert regions of seven California counties.
