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.
“We are very pleased to announce our first transaction with
Power Sustainable Energy Infrastructure,” commented Hamed Baatout,
