California promised wind and solar developers a 270-day permitting process. They're still waiting.
The industry's concerns have found receptive ears in Sacramento. SB 254, state Sen. Josh Becker's (D) sprawling bill to rein in electricity rates, contains language that would establish a presumption under the AB 205 system that the facilities' construction would economically benefit local governments, reversing the current dynamic, which has a higher bar for developers to demonstrate those benefits. It would also extend the application window deadline from 2029 to 2034, make smaller projects eligible, and give the CEC a 30-day deadline to ask for additional information after it receives records from applicants. Becker said his goal is to improve on the initial AB 205 framework, which, in his view, has been 'been working well in some cases, and not as well in others.' He views the bill through the popular 'abundance' framework of trying to strike the right balance between protecting the environment while getting projects approved more quickly. 'If we just have years and years of delays … it just adds costs to the system,' Becker said. In a statement, CEC spokesperson Stacey Shepard said that the opt-in program is working as intended, delivering a faster, predictable timeline for reviewing California energy projects. It brought the Fresno County Darden Clean Energy Project across the permitting finish line within the 270 day window, has three others with complete applications in the opt-in pipeline, and five more in the prefiling stage, representing 2,800 megawatts of new generation and 4,800 MW of storage capacity. Shepard defended the application timelines, saying that Fountain Wind got booted from the 270-day clock due to a change in its water-supply plan, and that there is no time limit restricting how long it takes the CEC to deem an application complete. 'Prior to the application being deemed complete, the onus is on the applicant to provide the information to CEC, and CEC has no control over how long an applicant may take to do so,' Shepard said. Newsom spokesperson Daniel Villasenor did not respond directly to questions about the Fountain Wind project, but touted the governor's renewable energy record in a statement. 'Under Governor Newsom's leadership, California has expedited more clean energy projects than ever before — helping the state add record energy capacity to our grid, at the fastest pace in our history,' Villasenor said. 'We're not slowing down any time soon.' The Fountain Wind saga Fountain Wind's developers began their effort to erect 71 wind turbines on about 4,500 acres of land in unincorporated Shasta County by submitting an application to local officials. In June 2021, county planning staffers filed a report supporting the project. But Mary Rickert, then a member of the Shasta County Board of Supervisors, wasn't convinced. She remembers the Fountain Fire, which ripped through the region in the '90s, destroying hundreds of homes. She feared that the 679-foot-tall turbines would prevent first responders from effectively fighting fire from the air if another blaze ignited.
