The PEIS will analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the development, operation, and decommissioning of utility-scale solar energy projects; i.e. solar energy projects that can generate large amounts of electricity to be put directly into the electricity transmission grid. The following technologies will be included in the PEIS analysis: • Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) • trough (including with Fresnel lens) • dish • tower • Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) • Flat panel Photovoltaic (PV) • fixed • tracking See the Utility-Scale Solar Energy and Electric Transmission Guide for more information about these utility-scale solar energy technologies.
