41685 20th St W - 10 ac SCE Shuttle Substation (Antelope TPD) 9.97 Acres of Industrial Land Offered at $995,000 in Palmdale, CA 93551
Investment Highlights
- 10 acres, zoned for BESS by-right with ministerial site plan review
- Biological and cultural studies show no significant constraints
- SCE 66-kV circuit with C-15 reported 85 MW of deliverability, 800-ft gen-tie into substation
Executive Summary
Shuttle is a significant 66-kV node with three circuits providing connectivity to the surrounding Antelope Valley transmission system. The circuits include connections toward Antelope Substation through Lancaster and Quartz Hill, together with the Acton–Palmdale–Shuttle 66-kV circuit. This multi-circuit configuration provides substantially greater interconnection optionality than a simple radial 66-kV location.
Cluster Study 15 evaluated a 30 MW BESS interconnection at Shuttle and provides useful engineering information regarding the local 66-kV system, interconnection facilities, and charging constraints. The site may support a substantially larger merchant BESS depending on the selected interconnection pathway, available system capacity, and future network conditions. Additional opportunity may arise from changes to existing queued generation and storage projects in the area.
Environmental due diligence is complete, with no material constraints identified beyond standard Western Joshua Tree mitigation (~$26,000 estimated). No cultural resource issues have been identified.
With approximately 10 acres, industrial zoning, a very short gen-tie, three 66-kV circuits at the adjacent substation, and multiple potential interconnection pathways, the property offers a strategically located platform for phased BESS development in the Antelope Valley.
Offered for sale, lease, or joint venture.
Properties highly suitable for battery energy storage system (BESS) development are relatively scarce and currently in demand by experienced energy storage developers. Pricing is based on the strategic infrastructure value of the site for utility-scale BESS development rather than conventional vacant land comparables. Key valuation factors include grid position, utility adjacency, permitting feasibility, and the absence of major environmental constraints.
Utility-scale BESS land economics differ materially from conventional vacant land valuation metrics. Depending on project size, qualified California BESS sites may support long-term lease structures with multi-million-dollar aggregate values over the operating life of the project. As a result, strategic grid-adjacent properties are often valued based on infrastructure development potential rather than traditional land comparables.
Please Note: I’m only engaging with parties evaluating this site at a transaction level (pricing, structure, or due diligence), not general inquiries.

Description
Shuttle Substation Utility-Scale Standalone Battery Energy Storage Development Opportunity Location: Approximately 800 feet from Southern California Edison’s Shuttle Substation Utility: Southern California Edison Jurisdiction: Los Angeles County (unincorporated; Palmdale Sphere of Influence) Parcel Size: ~9.97 acres Zoning: ~7.8 acres M-1 (Light Industrial); ~2.2 acres A-2 (Agricultural) Use Potential: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are an allowed use under current M-1 zoning, subject to County ministerial site plan review and applicable CDFW mitigation requirements. ________________________________________ Why This Site Matters Potential 100+ MW Standalone BESS Site The parcel appears physically capable of supporting utility-scale standalone battery energy storage development in the 100+ MW range, subject to interconnection, site design, fire-code requirements, and permitting review. Short Gen-Tie Pathway The site offers an approximately 800-foot potential gen-tie pathway to Shuttle Substation, primarily within public ROW. Three 66-kV Circuits Connect Shuttle to the Antelope Valley System Three 66-kV circuits provide connections between Shuttle and SCE Antelope Substation through different portions of the Antelope Valley electrical system: • Antelope–Shuttle–Quartz Hill • Antelope–Acton–Palmdale–Shuttle • Antelope–Lancaster–Lanpri–Shuttle This three-circuit configuration provides multiple potential electrical pathways from Shuttle into the broader Antelope Valley system. ________________________________________ Permitting / Due Diligence Advantages BESS Allowed by Right Battery storage is an allowed use in the M-1 zone, subject to ministerial site plan review. Biological Review Completed No significant biological constraints identified. Western Joshua Tree mitigation calculated fee $26,250 for complete removal within the M-1 footprint and limited removal for access through the A-2 frontage. Cultural Resource Review Completed Cultural resource study completed; no significant cultural resources or values identified. ________________________________________ Site Advantages • Nearly 10 acres with approximately 7.8 acres of industrial zoning • Approximately 800 feet from SCE Shuttle Substation • Three 66-kV circuits connecting Shuttle into the Antelope Valley system • Short potential gen-tie pathway primarily within public ROW • Environmental due diligence completed • Known Western Joshua Tree mitigation requirements and cost calculation • Located in an active Southern California storage and renewable energy corridor • Located within the Antelope Valley TPD corridor ________________________________________ Example Development Potential Example configurations, subject to interconnection, site design, and permitting review: Example Configuration Storage Capacity 30 MW / 120 MWh Mid-scale merchant storage 100 MW / 400 MWh Utility-scale standalone storage Larger systems Subject to interconnection and site design ________________________________________ Offering 9.97-acre utility-scale standalone BESS site offered for sale, lease, or joint venture. Guidance Range: $995,000–$1,250,000 Developers seeking a utility-scale standalone battery storage platform in Los Angeles County’s Antelope Valley TPD corridor are encouraged to inquire. Additional information available upon request, including biological and cultural studies and grid/interconnection-related analyses. Other substation-adjacent California energy development sites available.
