Sandrini Solar Energy Park

Installed capacity of 300 megawatts

Project overview

The solar energy park consists of two phases, Sandrini I and Sandrini II. It is located in the San Joaquin Valley of unincorporated Kern County, California. The project site was selected for its strong solar resource, access to transmission lines, and gently sloping, undeveloped terrain and will complement the nearby land’s agricultural production.

Economic benefits

Sandrini Solar Energy Park yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Sandrini Solar Energy Park is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.

Please support Sandrini Solar Park proposed in Kern County. This project would bring many benefits to residents of the County and all of California, including new jobs, new tax revenue, and new opportunities.
 
Sandrini Solar Park would create hundreds of full-time equivalent jobs during construction as well as several permanent jobs in Kern County. Sandrini represents a capital investment of millions of dollars and millions more would be spent in the state to operate and maintain the solar park throughout the project’s lifecycle.
 
Through the life of the solar park, local governments would receive an estimated $6.4 million in additional revenue that can be used to fund schools, libraries, and other essential services. The project would also provide significant indirect economic benefits and jobs to the region through spending at local businesses for goods, services, supplies, materials, dining, and lodging.
 
Please help us make these opportunities a reality by supporting Sandrini Solar Park.
