It has the capacity to supply electricity to about 300,000 homes. In addition, the Parker project already benefits from existing access through the state road network. In addition, it is also located near the transmission infrastructure.

Revolve Renewable Power Corp. reports that significant progress has been made on the Parker project over the past 18 months. Indeed, the project is now approaching the intermediate phase of development. Finally, the company is banking on the 2024 RTB (ready-to-build) calendar for the project.

An official authorization

Development activity for the Parker project would begin in July 2021. Revolve Renewable Power Corp., until now, had control of the site. In effect, the company was submitting a right-of-way application to the BLM. This request was part of the land waiver process required for the project in September 2021.

In addition, the company appointed Wood Group Inc. to lead the field studies required for the Parker project. Indeed, as part of the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process, a field study is required. In addition, the environmental studies will be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

At the end of 2021, Revolve Renewable Power Corp was applying to the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for interconnection. It is the operator of the transmission system and owner of the interconnection infrastructure located next to the Parker project. Thus, the publication of the results of the study will take place in the first quarter of 2023.
