SolarReserve has received a final decision from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for construction and operation of the Rice solar energy project. This approval, the key state-level permit for the 150 MW solar power tower project, was achieved in less than 13 months from the initial application, the company notes.
The final step in the approval process involves receiving National Environmental Policy Act approval from the Bureau of Land Management and Western Area Power Administration, which SolarReserve hopes to receive by the end of the first quarter of 2011.
