Project Description

Libra Solar LLC (Applicant) proposes to construct, own, operate, and decommission the Libra Solar Project (Project), consisting of up to a nominal 700-megawatt (MW) alternating current (MWac) solar photovoltaic (PV) power generating facility and 700-megawatt (MW) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-administered land located in Mineral County, Nevada. The Project would be constructed using photovoltaic solar modules mounted on single-axis, horizontal tracker structures combined with an integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems.
The Project will be located on approximately 5,778 acres of BLM administered land. The ROW application contains a larger area than required for the solar field to allow for adjustments in the facility layout to minimize environmental impacts, based on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis.
