Globemallow is a proposed large solar plus battery facility in southeastern Santa Fe County, planned as a two phase build that would operate as one contiguous project. Phase 1 is described as 199 MWac solar paired with 199 MWac BESS, and Phase 2 as 150 MWac solar paired with 150 MWac BESS, for a combined 349 MWac solar and 349 MWac BESS if both phases are built. The site is on the east side of State Highway 41 about 2.4 miles north northeast of Stanley on privately owned grazing land totaling about 2,896 acres, with an “inside the fence” footprint of about 2,003 acres; the applicant indicates a preference to construct both phases simultaneously but notes they could be built sequentially.
The project would interconnect via a new on site 4 ring bus switchyard tapping PNM’s 345 kV Diamond Tail to Clines Corner transmission line that crosses the property, and the narrative states the project has obtained two Large Generator Interconnection Agreements with PNM totaling 349 MW of interconnection capacity. The applicant is Globemallow Energy, LLC, a project specific entity owned and controlled by Linea Energy, and the filing is positioned as a Conditional Use Permit application under Santa Fe County’s Sustainable Land Development Code, with the site split between Rural and Agricultural/Ranching zoning where commercial solar and power generation are conditional uses.
