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.

Renewable America Obtains Conditional Use Permit for Ranch Sereno Project
There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
