GIS-based project siting methodology
Developed a GIS-based project-siting methodology for utility-scale solar photovoltaic generation facilities. The methodology considers the location of transmission and sub-transmission infrastructure along with known siting constraints, including county land-use plans, utility and conservation easements, environmentally sensitive areas and critical habitats, state and national parks, and military bases. Parcel ownership GIS-data enables the project developer to expedite the acquisition of project land and right of way for project access and interconnection infrastructure.
