The Calico Solar Energy Project, now shelved,[1] was a proposed photovoltaic power station to be located in San Bernardino County, California on 4,600 acres (1,900 ha) of Bureau of Land Management land. It would have been a mixed design of 618 MW fixed tilt and dual axis photovoltaics.[2][3]
Originally it was stirling engine design and the company involved was Tessera Solar.[4] The project was approved by Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, on October 20, 2010. On December 1 project received approval from the California Energy Commission, but on December 23 Southern California Edison decided to cancel its power purchase agreement for the project. Then project was sold to K Road, and redesigned using photovoltaics.
