California Energy Commission 20090901 vector digital data https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS ftp://ftp.wildlife.ca.gov/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/400_499/ds496.zip Environmental "Blackout" Areas or "Category I Lands" for Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) led by the California Energy Commission. Conceptual planning usually considers only potential electrical connections between substations, without regard to geographic factors. The first steps in the RETI planning approach, in contrast, are to exclude even potential transmission facilities (referred to as “conceptual” facilities) from being considered on lands where development is prohibited by law or policy, and to avoid environmentally sensitive lands. RETI Phase 1 work referred to these as Category 1 (Black) [ds496] and Category 2 (Yellow) [ds497] lands, respectively. Blackout areas were generated by Black and Veatch and are general exclusion zones for renewable energy projects due to environmental sensitivity and other land use/management constraints. See "Phase 1B Proposed Final Report" at https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/2010publications/RETI-1000-2010-002/RETI-1000-2010-002-F.PDF for more details. ***** This data was published in September 1, 2009 as part of the Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI), this data is no longer maintained. ***** Complete None planned -124.505850 -113.598011 42.064047 32.428107 None environmental sensitivity, exclusion zones, renewable energy, utilities, communication ISO 19115 Topic Categories utilitiesCommunication None California None Restricted.Disclaimer: The State makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or adequacy of these data and expressly disclaims liability for errors and omissions in these data.
