Owner data does not fully agree across sources.
EIA typically reports the operating utility, while GEM resolves to the financial owner or parent corporation. Both can be correct.

Arroyo Solar Energy Storage Hybrid is a 450 MW hybrid power plant located in McKinley County, New Mexico. The plant, which began operating in 2023, is owned and operated by Arroyo Solar LLC. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery energy storage. The facility consists of two generators and is tracked as the second-largest of 15 plants in New Mexico, and 79th-largest of 514 plants nationally. The solar component uses single-axis tracking. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 600 MWh, providing a duration of 4 hours and utilizing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB).
The plant's primary fuel is listed as MWH, reflecting its reliance on stored energy. In its most recent year of operation, Arroyo Solar generated 678,974 MWh, achieving a capacity factor of 17.2%. The plant operates within the Public Service Company of New Mexico balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. Financial data indicates a power purchase agreement (PPA) price of $15.86 per MWh, according to data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). News coverage of the plant includes two articles related to deals and one on regulatory matters.

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.
