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.

Consider the meme here, and then remember that the nine of the ten poorest states in the U.S. (Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina) are all bright red.
How do they get away with stupidity like this?
Well, there’s the bottom of the state rankings for education:
- 46. Mississippi
- 47. Kentucky
- 48. Louisiana
- 49. Arkansas
- 50. West Virginia
Do you see any correlation?
Republican Operatives Are Tenacious as Messaging–And Truth Has No Bearing on It
Good question here at left.
To me, it depends.
If the person seems intelligent enough to be able to hold a thought in his head that opposes his current beliefs, I’d actively encourage the discussion. Otherwise, I’m out. No need to raising someone’s temper for no reason or gain.
To the jackass who sent me the meme here: What about the 5 million Americans who moved to Canada? What about the steady flow of Americans expatriating to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and Northern Europe?
My wife and I have two kids and a grandchild in the States, and we have a gaggle of medicos to address the various health conditions associated with aging. If that weren’t the case, I’d be writing this from Stockholm or Aukland.
I wouldn’t be looking for a “utopia,” just an escape from the frustration, anger, and sadness that I feel every day, as I watch the country I love deteriorate into authoritarianism.
