On August 29, 2011, Quail Brush Genco LLC submitted an Application for Certification (AFC) to the California Energy Commission seeking permission to construct and operate a nominal 100-megawatt (MW) intermediate/peaking load, electrical generating facility that would employ a set of 11 natural gas-fired, reciprocating, Wartsila engine generators to be called the Quail Brush Generation Project (QBGP).

The QBGP is proposed to be developed on a 21.6-acre parcel, located in the city of San Diego. The proposed site is located west of the city of Santee, south of the Sycamore landfill, and north of State Route 52.

As the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Energy Commission is responsible for reviewing and ultimately approving or denying all applications to construct and operate thermal electric power plants, 50 MW and greater, in California. The Energy Commission facility certification process carefully examines public health and safety, environmental impacts and engineering aspects of proposed power plants and all related facilities such as electric transmission lines and natural gas and water pipelines.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Energy Commission has designated a committee of two commissioners to conduct proceedings on the Application. The Committee has scheduled a public Site Visit and Informational Hearing to discuss the proposed project as described below:


TELECONFERENCE OPTION: You may participate in the Informational Hearing in person by telephone, and/or computer via our "WebEx" web conferencing system
