Power plant permit
San Fernando Valley Business Journal, August 18, 2008
The City of Palmdale has submitted an application to the California Energy Commission for certification for a 570-megawatt hybrid power plant.
The city will build the power plant to generate electricity to meet increasing demand.
"Our application submittal is the culmination of several years of intense efforts to identify the best plant design and a location that is compatible with the city's future plans," stated Palmdale City Manager Steve Williams.
The power plant or hybrid plant, which it is called because of its large solar energy component, will be located along the south side of Avenue M, east of Sierra Highway.
The city hired Inland Energy to manage the environmental and engineering activities related to the plan.
"One of the best attributes of this hybrid plant is that it has the ability to produce electricity whenever it is needed but can rely on the renewable energy when the electricity demand is at its highest, during the daylight hours," Company Vice President Tony Penna said.
