California Advances Clean Energy with Massive Solar and Storage Projects

California is reinforcing its leadership in renewable energy with two groundbreaking projects that will expand the state’s solar and energy storage capacity.

1. Darden Clean Energy Project:

• Capacity: 1.15 GW solar PV with 3.1 million panels
• Battery Energy Storage: 4,600 MWh BESS
• Developer: Intersect Power
• Location: Western Fresno County
• Community Impact: 325,000 dollar investment in food security programs

2. California High-Speed Rail (HSR) Central Valley PV/BESS Project:

• Aims: To power the future electric train system entirely with renewable energy
• Purpose: Will provide primary power and backup storage for operations between Merced and Bakersfield

With these large-scale solar and storage projects, California is setting new benchmarks in clean energy deployment, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable and carbon-free future.
