Located in Worcester County, Massachusetts, the ZPD-PT Solar Project 2017-038 Hybrid LLC is an 8.5 MW hybrid power plant that began operating in 2021. The facility is owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology with fixed tilt tracking and battery energy storage. The plant consists of two generators and is fueled primarily by energy from other sources ("MWH"). The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 6.7 MWh and a duration of 1.91 hours, employing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB).
The plant operates within the ISO New England Inc. balancing authority and the NPCC NERC region. In its latest year of operation, the plant generated 6,809 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 9.1%. The ZPD-PT Solar Project 2017-038 Hybrid LLC is ranked 22nd out of 126 power plants in Massachusetts and 866th nationally out of 1205. Financial data is available for the plant from LBNL sources.

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.
