Project Summary: On October 30, 2003, the City of Roseville's electric department, doing business as Roseville Electric (RE) filed an Application for Certification (AFC), for its proposed Roseville Energy Park (REP) with the California Energy Commission seeking approval to construct and operate a 120 to 125 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired, combined-cycle electric generating facility. As proposed, the REP would have the ability to peak-fire to 160 MW during summer design conditions and would be owned and operated by RE.

The proposed project would be located on a 12-acre site within a 40-acre parcel owned by the City of Roseville. The project site is adjacent to and north of the Pleasant Grove Waste Water Treatment Plant (PGWWTP) and is zoned Public/Quasi-Public. Surrounding land uses currently include ranching (agricultural grazing) and rural residential.
