The base exclusions consist of two main categories of exclusion \u2013 the\u00a0protected area layer\u00a0and the\u00a0techno-economic exclusion layer. The base exclusions form the fundamental exclusion set that the additional criteria of the Core and SB 100 Terrestrial Climate Resilience Study screens are added to. The merged footprints of these primary two layers are modified by the Bureau of Land Management Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) development focus areas (DFAs) and variance process lands, and the general public lands in the DRECP. These areas allow for renewable energy applications and are therefore exempt (erased) from the base exclusions layer, even if the protected area layer or techno-economic exclusion layer identified the area as an exclusion. The DFAs are partitioned by technology type so that only the DFAs that allow\u00a0solar energy\u00a0are applied in this modification.\u00a0 \u00a0


The area of California remaining after removing the base exclusions is called the resource potential basemap. It\u00a0forms the starting point (or base) used in renewable resource estimation and defines where environmental and land-use datasets can be applied in exploring implications.\u00a0


More information about this layer and its use in electric system planning is available in the\u00a0Land Use Screens Staff Report in the CEC Energy Planning Library.\u00a0


Change Log:\u00a0

Version 1.1 (January 22, 2024 10:49 AM)\u00a0

  • Layer revised with latest protected area layer, which allows for gaps to remain when combining all components.\u00a0
