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data was published in September 1, 2009 as part of the Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI), this data is no longer maintained. *****
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.
