Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Willow Rock Energy Storage Center (DOE/EA-2326). The EA assesses the potential environmental impacts of providing potential financial assistance (a federal loan guarantee) for construction and operation of the Willow Rock Energy Storage Center (WRESC) in Kern County, California.
These documents have been posted to comply with applicable environmental requirements as part of EDF’s due diligence process for issuing a Department of Energy loan or loan guarantee. With the exception of a Record of Decision, the posting of these documents should not be construed as recommending a decision about the issuance of a loan or loan guarantee.
