Rancho Viejo Project Permitting Hearing
February 3 @ 1:30 pm - 9:30 pm MST
Finally, we have a real opportunity to get behind a project that will make a significant contribution to a rapid and just transition to renewable energy as well as advance us towards county and state climate and renewable energy goals.
The project, the Rancho Viejo Solar and Storage Project will provide 96 MW AC output and 48 MW / 192 MWh battery storage (4 hours) – enough energy to benefit all the residents of the CIty of Santa Fe with inexpensive solar power.
With the adoption of the latest UL certifications on parts and systems the battery energy storage system (BESS) will comply with the most modern fire safety standards, including advanced monitoring and module level automatic fire suppression technologies. Located somewhat in isolation, 1.5 miles from the nearest residence the BESS reduces fire risks to a minimum despite mis- and dis-information to the contrary..
The project also brings jobs, tax revenues and other economic benefits along with its so desirable climate warming benefits.
The next hearing on the application for a Conditional Use Permit for the Rancho Viejo Solar and Storage Project will take place on Feb 3 from 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm at the Santa De Convention Center. 350SantaFe has been granted standing and is allowed 30 mins to present our case, before the committee takes public comments,
We need your help to support this much needed project and need you be prepared to speak in support and on behalf of the public. Please show up early at the Convention Center to sign up for your turn to make a comment in support.
