SOLAR PLUS STORAGE IN CALIFORNIA
Rangeland and High Valley solar + storage project
AES’ Rangeland and High Valley project is a proposed solar + battery energy storage facility to be located in Lancaster and unincorporated Los Angeles County, California.
This project will provide a critical and cost-effective source of clean, reliable power for the region’s electric grid and will also support California’s transition and commitment to achieving 100% carbon-free energy by 2045.
110 MW planned solar + 55 MW battery energy storage
Enough clean energy to power 33.5K homes annually + enough storage to power 41K homes for 4 hours
Located in Lancaster and Los Angeles County, California

Sustainability best practices
At AES, safety is our highest priority, and we’ve focused on improving lives for more than 40 years. As a leading innovator in energy solutions, sustainability is core to both our strategy and our culture. We are committed to responsible land use and incorporating sustainable best practices into the entire project lifecycle, contributing to building a domestic circular renewables economy and reducing foreign dependence.
Environmental and technical studies
Because the sites for this project are in the city of Lancaster and Los Angeles County, a joint Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared. The EIR is a comprehensive analysis that will identify any significant environmental impacts and mitigation measures as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project will be designed and built in accordance with the latest applicable codes and safety standards.
Local partnerships
AES is committed to being a good neighbor and partner in the Antelope Valley community. This includes informing and engaging project stakeholders and the public throughout all phases of the project. AES also supports local contractors and has ongoing partnerships with community organizations and programs such as Antelope Valley College. AES is a proud member and partner of Antelope Valley Chambers of Commerce and AV EDGE.
