The company has also petitioned the California Energy Commission (CEC) to reduce Calico’s footprint by 16% — to avoid damaging wildlife habitat — which would cut its maximum capacity to 618MW.
In late 2010, the CEC approved Calico as a 663.5MW concentrating solar power (CSP) project using SunCatcher dish engines from Stirling Energy Systems (SES), a unit of Dublin-based NTR and sister company to Tessera.
