The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Rincon San Luiseño Band of Mission Indians (Rincon) to deploy two (2) energy microgrid systems at buildings owned and operated by Rincon and located on the Rincon Indian Reservation, in Valley Center, CA. The first system would be installed at the Rincon Fire Station and would include 100 kilowatts (kW) of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a 50 kW battery energy storage system (BESS). This system would also incorporate an existing generator. The second system would be installed at the Harrah’s Resort Southern California, and would include 2 (MW) of carport solar PV panels, a 2,400 kW BESS, and 500 kW diesel generator. This system would also incorporate an existing 1 MW ground-mounted solar PV system.
