MCE signs on for up to 400 MW of new solar + storage in Fresno County

GSCE and MCE agreed to collaborate toward California's clean energy future by developing solar+battery storage projects in Fresno County.

Golden State Clean Energy (GSCE) and MCE have agreed to work together toward California’s clean energy future, building much needed solar + battery storage resources in Fresno County. The master-planned development program known as the Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan aims to repurpose up to 130,000 acres of drainage-impaired or water-challenged lands within Westlands Water District in Fresno County to develop transmission infrastructure, solar generation and storage.

At full buildout the plan will include up to 20 GW of solar and 20 MW of energy storage, potentially providing up to one-sixth of California’s electricity requirements in 2035. MCE has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with GSCE for up to 400 MW each of solar and battery storage.
