Data quality note: Sourced from the California Energy Commission's power plant licensing docket system — an Application for Certification (AFC, traditional ≥50MW thermal/geothermal siting process) or Opt-In certification (AB 205, streamlined ≥50MW solar/wind or ≥200MWh storage siting process). CEC's own "Project Status" field on its power plant listing page is used as the primary still-waiting signal, cross-checked against the docket's own filing history for a Final Decision/Commission Decision/denial document — see the ingestion module header for how this was calibrated against real dockets. Located in Imperial County, California, per CEC's own Location field — no structured coordinates are published, so this project will not appear on the map until geocoded another way.
