NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Para más detalles llame 1-800-660-6789 PROJECT NAME: Lakeview Substation Expansion for Jasmine Solar Project - (Kern County, T.0006097.02) ADVICE LETTER NUMBER: 7247-E Proposed Project: SF Jasmine, LLC of the proposed Jasmine Solar Project in Kern County has requested a power line interconnection to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) Lakeview Substation. The substation is located in a remote agricultural area at the southwest corner of Copus Road and Schallock Road in Kern County. To connect the proposed solar project to PG&E's electric system and provide new renewable energy to the grid, PG&E will expand Lakeview Substation by approximately 0.9 acre to the west of the existing substation. PG&E also plans to construct a new approximately 150-foot 70 kilovolt (kV) power line (approximately 23 feet outside of the expanded substation) supported by a new approximately 80-95-foot-tall tubular steel pole to accommodate the customer's generation-tie line interconnection. Other power line work to support the interconnection includes rerouting approximately 250 feet of the existing Copus-Old River 70 kV Power Line along the north and south sides of Copus Road and installing two new approximately 80- to 95-foot-tall tubular steel poles on each side of the road to support the reconfiguration. The rerouted line will cross Copus Road at a new location and connect to a new bay inside Lakeview Substation. In addition, PG&E will remove approximately 4 to 5 existing poles along this 70 kV power line and 1 to 2 poles along the Wheeler Ridge-Lakeview 70 kV Power Line at the substation. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2025, or as soon as project plans and approvals are in place. Construction is scheduled to be completed in June 2026, or as soon as possible after construction begins. Exemption from CPUC Permit Requirement: CPUC General Order 131-D, Section II, Subsection 8.1, exempts a utility from the CPUC's requirement to file an application requesting authority to construct if a project meets specific conditions. This project qualifies for the following exemption: "power lines or substations to be relocated or constructed which have undergone environmental review pursuant to CEQA as part of a larger project, and for which the final CEQA document (Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or Negative Declaration) finds no significant unavoidable environmental impacts caused by the proposed line or substation." The County of Kern adopted an EIR for the Jasmine Solar Project in March 2024 (State Clearinghouse No. 2022060193). The County found that there were no significant unavoidable environmental impacts resulting from PG&E's proposed facilities. Additional Project Information: To obtain further information on the proposed project, please call PG&E's Project Information Line at (415) 973-5530. Public Review Process: Individuals or groups may protest the proposed construction if they believe that PG&E has incorrectly applied for an exemption or that the conditions set out in Section III.B.2 of General Order 131-D exist; There is reasonable possibility that the activity may have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies; or The cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, is significant; or There is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. Protests should include the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Your name, email address and daytime telephone number. Reference to the CPUC Advice Letter Number and Project Name. A clear description of the reason for the protest. Whether you believe that evidentiary hearings are necessary to resolve factual disputes. Protests for this project must be filed by may 16y, 2024 at the following address: Director, Energy Division ED Tariff Unit E-mail: EDTariffUnit@cpuc.ca.gov With a copy emailed to: Pacific Gas and Electric Company PG&E Tariffs E-mail: PGETariffs@pge.com PG&E must respond within five business days of receipt and serve its response on each protestant and the Energy Division. Within 30 days after PG&E has submitted its response, the CPUC Executive Director will send you a copy of an Executive Resolution granting or denying PG&E's request and stating the reasons for the decision.
