McFarland A Solar and Storage is a 300 MW hybrid power plant located in Yuma County, Arizona. The plant, which began operating in 2023, is owned and operated by AES Clean Energy. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery energy storage. The solar component uses single-axis tracking. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 400 MWh, providing 4 hours of duration, and uses lithium-ion battery (LIB) chemistry. The plant is interconnected to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) balancing authority within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region.
In its most recent year of operation, McFarland A Solar and Storage generated 542,282 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 20.6%. The plant is ranked as the 25th largest in Arizona out of 47 plants, and 154th nationally out of 514 plants. Financial data is available for the plant from LBNL, and the plant has been mentioned in three news articles, covering industry and regulatory topics.

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.
