After a two-year permitting process, Contra Costa County has granted the Ranch Sereno Clean Power (RASE) project, being developed by Renewable America (RNA), a conditional use permit.
Granted in September, the permit clears the way for development of the new solar and storage project in Byron, Calif. The project is set to be built on 7.5 acres and will feature 2.48 MW of solar capacity, coupled with 3.6 MWh of energy storage.
“Renewable America partners with local communities to build long-term, meaningful relationships that stimulate economic growth across California while expanding access to affordable clean energy,” says Ardeshir Arian, president and CEO of Renewable America. “This approval is a pivotal step toward solar expansion and increased energy independence in the Byron area.”
The project site is located in Contra Costa County’s designated Solar Energy Generation overlay zone, an area identified in the Renewable Resources Potential Study by the County. This study applied a series of filters, including slope, land cover, soil quality, zoning status and proximity to transmission lines, to identify optimal locations for solar development while excluding sensitive agricultural and habitat resources.
RNA will serve as the developer for the RASE project, while its EPC division, RNA Services, will manage construction.
MCE will be the off-taker under the Feed-in Tariff Plus, purchasing the power generated by the project. Renewable America has previously collaborated with MCE, completing the Fallon Two Rock Road solar farm in Marin County earlier this year.

Can’t swear that this is true but hoping so.
We must never forget.
The more visibility and the more frequent reminders we can get on this catastrophe in U.S. history the better.
It’s almost funny when we hear that California is a socialist state, or a police state (due to our environmental restrictions), or that people are leaving in droves to go to Texas or Florida. When I come across people who say this, I wonder: have you ever actually been to California?
Do you know that the garden-variety 3 BR, 2 BA house here lists at about $1.2 million, where, if it were moved to, say, the Midwest, it would be worth perhaps $2500,000? Why do you think that could possibly be? Maybe the law of supply and demand doesn’t apply to the Marxist part of the nation?
Perhaps it’s because Californians are offered fantastic economic opportunities. We develop and implement ideas that improve the lives of everyone on Earth, and that we profit greatly from our undertakings.
Something for the MAGA crowd to consider.
The main way governments create wealth is by educating people so that they can become productive members of society. They also build roads and airports and maintain law and order so that honest businesses can thrive.
Anyone living now who believes that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are creating wealth for anyone but themselves is a total fool.
A ton of people bought into the concept expressed here in the mid-20th Century, but no semi-intelligent person today believes that tax breaks for billionaires/trillionaires generates a nickel for the common person.
