Utility Solar Generation Regions: 2022
The map depicts Solar Generation Regions of California, which
are regions with concentrations of operating commercial solar
plants. The regions were delineated using a k-means method
that groups the plants into discreet regions based on their
latitude, longitude and distance to the coast. After facilities
were grouped, the outermost facilities in each region were
connected to create the boundaries for each region. To include
all facilities inside each polygon, a 5 km cartographic buffer was
used. Plants that are farther from a concentration of other
plants are not included. Areas outside California included in the
regions are the result of the mapping process and do not
represent solar generation facilities. Based on the Quarterly
Fuel and Energy Report dataset, this map focuses on plants of
commercial scale (at least 1 MW capacity).
