The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has brought two California PV projects to operational status, with the 500MW Oberon solar from developer Intersect Power, which includes 250MW of battery storage output. The BLM also closed US$3.1 billion in project financing for a portfolio of 2.2GW near-term projects, including Oberon. The other project, which is fully operational in Riverside County, has 364MW of solar capacity and 242 MW of battery energy storage. In Nevada, seven solar projects with a combined generation capacity of up to 5.3GW have been proposed, and the BLM is working on 13 other renewable projects. In Arizona, the BLM started an environmental analysis of a 700MW solar and battery energy system project, owned by solar developer Savion.
