Why This Site Matters
Potential 100+ MW Standalone BESS Site
The parcel appears physically capable of supporting utility-scale standalone battery energy storage development in the 100+ MW range, subject to interconnection, site design, fire-code requirements, and permitting review.
Short Gen-Tie Pathway
The site offers an approximately 800-foot potential gen-tie pathway to Shuttle Substation, primarily within public ROW.
Three 66-kV Circuits Connect Shuttle to the Antelope Valley System
Three 66-kV circuits provide connections between Shuttle and SCE Antelope Substation through different portions of the Antelope Valley electrical system:
•	Antelope–Shuttle–Quartz Hill
•	Antelope–Acton–Palmdale–Shuttle
•	Antelope–Lancaster–Lanpri–Shuttle
This three-circuit configuration provides multiple potential electrical pathways from Shuttle into the broader Antelope Valley system.
