CALIFORNIA VALLEY SOLAR RANCH PROJECT
San Luis Obispo, CA

At the 250-megawatt California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR), constructed in San Luis Obispo County, California, approximately 350 jobs were created during the project’s two-year construction period. CVSR injected $315 million of economic benefit into the local economy and contribute about $10 million dollars in total tax revenues.

In September 2013, the initial 250-megawatts of the project were energized, delivering clean, reliable solar energy to the electrical grid. 

  CVSR will power a yearly average of 100,000 homes with clean, renewable solar energy, while protecting and conserving more than 12,000 acres of land in and around the Carrizo Plain in southeastern San Luis Obispo County, about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

CVSR is actively demonstrating the ability of utility-scale solar to create jobs and bring real economic benefit to California families and communities.
