Profile
- Grid role
- Utility-scale solar generation in ERCOT's energy-only market.
- Physical build
- Source materials describe an approximately 150 MW AC utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) facility in Crane County, Texas. Documented scope includes photovoltaic (PV) solar panels; DC-to-AC inverters (inverter boxes on concrete or gravel pads); tracker system infrastructure (steel piles, foundations, controllers); collection substation (high-voltage transformer, switchgear, transmission equipment, transmission tie line and towers, interconnection facilities and control systems); DC and AC wiring, combiner boxes, conduit and connectors; fencing and security; O&M building; meteorological/irradiance equipment; and new/improved access and service roads. The plant’s ERCOT/PRA interconnection filing for CED Crane Solar, LLC records 50 TMEIC 3360 inverters rated at 3.05 MW each (per the CED Crane Solar SGIA amendment).

Parcel Area And Owner
Sep 11, 2019
LCRA substation parcel 5.335 acres (owned by LCRA, located inside project boundary, excluded from applicant land).
Comptroller application amendment clarifies that a Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) substation and its 5.335 acres of land are located within the outer project boundary but are owned by LCRA and are excluded from the applicant's qualified land area.
Site Area
Sep 11, 2019
Project boundary net land area approximately 1,206.03 acres (excluding 5.335-acre LCRA substation parcel owned by LCRA).
Texas Comptroller Chapter 313 application/amendments state the project boundary net land area (qualified applicant land) as approximately 1,206.03 acres (net of the 5.335-acre LCRA substation parcel that is excluded from applicant-qualified land). Total project boundary is approximately 1,211.365 acres.
