McCoy Solar LLC

The Genesis Solar Energy Project, located in Chuckwalla Valley, Riverside County, California, is a large-scale concentrated solar energy facility that utilizes parabolic trough technology to generate electricity for the grid. Since its dedication in April 2014, the project has faced significant environmental challenges, including issues related to avian mortality and storm damage from heavy rainfall events. Despite the installation of protective measures designed to prevent bird collisions with its mirrors, the project has reported numerous incidents of avian fatalities, prompting ongoing discussions about effective mitigation strategies. Additionally, the facility has encountered substantial damage due to flooding during monsoon seasons, leading to extensive assessments and proposed improvements to its stormwater management systems.
