Desert Quartzite, located in Riverside County, California, is currently under construction, and will represent 300 megawatts (MW) of solar generation, combined with a 150 MW/4-hour battery energy storage system (BESS). The electricity generated will be delivered to Clean Power Alliance, the Community Choice Aggregator serving 35 communities in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA). Construction is expected to be complete by year-end, with long-term operations and maintenance performed by EDF Renewables’ Asset Optimization team.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our presence in the California utility-scale market,” said Pierre-Olivier Perras, Managing Partner at Power Sustainable Energy Infrastructure. “The swift and collaborative process was a testament to our mutual commitment to making this partnership a success. It became evident during our due diligence that the EDF Renewables team is top-notch, and we greatly value the professionalism and expertise each department demonstrated.”

This investment is PSEI’s largest to date, and builds on their inaugural investment in the California utility-scale market last year.
