Clean Energy - 41575 Eclectic Gas Distribution Station, Palm Desert, California

Clean Energy - 41575 Eclectic is a gas distribution station located at 41575 Eclectic Street in Palm Desert, California, within Riverside County. This facility is part of the natural gas infrastructure that supplies energy to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the region. As a gas distribution station, it plays a critical role in reducing gas pressure from transmission pipelines to levels suitable for local distribution. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of gas distribution systems. The station's NAICS code 221210 indicates it is involved in natural gas distribution. Gas distribution stations in California typically handle pressures ranging from 60 to 200 psi and serve thousands of customers. This station contributes to the energy reliability of Palm Desert and the broader Coachella Valley, supporting the local economy and community. Its location in a semi-arid desert environment requires careful management of infrastructure to withstand temperature extremes and seismic activity common to Southern California. The facility's operational status ensures continued service to the region's growing population.

The station is located in a semi-arid desert climate with hot summers and mild winters, where temperature extremes can affect pipeline integrity. The region is seismically active due to proximity to the San Andreas Fault system, requiring infrastructure designed to withstand earthquakes. Proximity to populated areas in Palm Desert necessitates rigorous safety protocols to minimize risks associated with gas leaks or ruptures.
