Eland Solar & Storage Center, Phase 1 Hy is a hybrid power plant located in Kern County, California. The facility, owned and operated by 68SF 8me LLC, has a total capacity of 459.6 MW and began operating in 2024. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology with single-axis tracking and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The BESS component has a storage capacity of 600 MWh, providing a duration of 4 hours and employing lithium-ion battery (LIB) chemistry. The plant is interconnected within the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power balancing authority, operating within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region.
The plant's primary fuel source is listed as MWH, reflecting its reliance on solar energy and stored electricity. In its latest year of operation, the facility generated 684,009 MWh, achieving a capacity factor of 17.0%. Eland Solar & Storage Center, Phase 1 Hy ranks as the 11th largest solar facility out of 112 in California and 76th nationally out of 514. The plant has a reported power purchase agreement (PPA) price of $15.91 per MWh, according to data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
