Oberon Powers Up: 500MW Solar+Storage Project

• California's Oberon project delivers 500MW of solar + storage, combining First Solar modules and Nextracker trackers with Tesla batteries. Creating 930 skilled union jobs and offering renewable energy credits, this project is the first to meet IRA and BLM standards.

Intersect Power’s 500 MW Oberon solar and storage project has been initiated in California, combination of modules from First Solar and smart solar trackers from Nextracker with Tesla battery storage. This is in line with the USA’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that emphasizes on domestically manufactured products. The Oberon project is the first to be developed in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, with over 930 skilled union jobs created during its peak construction phase. The project will offer renewable energy credits, energy and resource adequacy to Calpine Energy Solutions, Constellation, Ava Community Energy, Microsoft and San Diego Community Power.
