Next door: the Diablo Grande community
Copper Canyon sits next to an established community with golf and homes. These facts are about that neighbor, not about the land offered here.
400+
homes already built
18
tournament-caliber golf holes, with clubhouse, range and vineyard
2,354

Energy
Sun, lines and room to scale
A technical study of the surrounding area found it “highly suitable for solar development”.

- phases in the study area
Phase 1 · Copper Canyon13 MW
About 124 acres of ground-mounted panels, in two areas.
Planned tie-in to the Turlock Irrigation District 12 kV line; the study records 13 MW of available capacity there.
Phase 2 · Crow Creek40 MW
Two 20 MW stages on a much larger surface suitable for solar.
PG&E 115 kV transmission lines within 4 miles; interconnection through CAISO.
Phase areas are approximate markers placed from the place names in the study, not surveyed footprints and not to scale. The study area is approximate and is not confirmed to match the site outline. Lines: OpenStreetMap.
Since 2010 solar technology has advanced a great deal, lowering costs while raising capacity and efficiency. That could allow an even better use of land like this.
Background from a 2009–2010 study. It is not a current project and does not imply current permits, interconnection rights or contracts; any new development would need an updated study.

Why this land
Secure and isolated
Limited access points make it a natural fit for data centers, banks and government.
Can be 100% green
Nearby transmission lines make large-scale solar possible. A 2009–2010 study sized about 53 MW across two phases.
Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir
Water resources close to the site support agriculture and industry.
Crows Landing airport
A former military airfield with plans for industrial or commercial use.
Logistics on the I-5
Distribution centers operate along the I-5 corridor next to the property.
Many possible uses
Agriculture and microgreens, data centers and solar farms at a scale that is hard to find.
