"The Interior Department has issued formal approval for a massive solar power project in the Southern California desert, completing a wild odyssey that saw the project left for dead two years ago after its Spain-based developer went bankrupt.

The Bureau of Land Management tomorrow will publish a record of decision (ROD) in the Federal Register, granting right of way approval for the Palen Solar Power Project covering roughly 3,100 acres of federal land in Riverside County.

The ROD will include an approved amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area plan that's needed to allow for the commercial-scale project, according to a notice in today's Register."
