Longroad Energy is developing the proposed Zeta Solar and Battery Energy Storage Project, a 75 MW solar + storage project in Merced County, CA. The Project is located on approximately 650 acres of private, fallowed farmland. The project includes a 1,700-foot-long generation-tie line to deliver power from the Project to PG&E’s existing Mercy Springs Substation.
Site Plan
Project Status
The Project completed an Environmental Impact Report pursuant to CEQA and received a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) from Merced County in February 2025.
Longroad Energy is developing the proposed Agua Fria Solar, Storage and Gen-Tie Project, which includes an approximately 1.8 mile 500 kV transmission line gen-tie that will connect the Agua Fria Solar and Storage Project to the regional grid at the existing Dugas Substation.
The Project will transmit renewable energy from the proposed Agua Fria Solar and Storage Project to the regional transmission grid. The storage component will also provide ancillary grid services which will support system reliability.
General Area Map
Longroad Energy has initiated the permitting process and hosted in-person and virtual open houses in December 2024 and January 2025 to invite the public to learn and provide input on the Project.
Arizona CEC Gen-Tie Permitting Process
On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) was filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). A link to the CEC application is in the Supplemental Project Materials tab. On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the Arizona Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee voted unanimously to approve the Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) for the Agua Fria Gen-Tie Project.
The ACC will hold a public Open Meeting where a written decision on the CEC application is made. The ACC Open Meeting date has not been set. The website will be updated with information on the meeting once a date is set.
Yavapai County Process
The Project will consider public feedback and prepare a full application based on the Solar Ordinance which became effective in December 2024. The Project expects to submit this application in early 2025. The County Board of Supervisors will have final authority to approve the project as a permitted land use. The County permitting process is expected to take 6-9 months.
Providing Arizonians with power that is reliable, affordable and clean
The output of the Serrano project will be purchased by Arizona Public Service (APS) via a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The project will generate enough electricity to power roughly 61,000 Arizona homes, and will support grid reliability, particularly during Arizona’s hot summer months.
The project will provide more than $25 million in revenue for Arizona schools and communities through its long-term Right of Way grant with the Arizona State Land Department and tax remittances.
This site represents approximately 330,000 metric tons of avoided CO2 emissions annually, the equivalent of taking approximately 75,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road for each year that the project is operating.
