Estrella Solar & Storage is a hybrid power plant located in Los Angeles County, California. Operated by AES Clean Energy, the facility came online in 2023 and has a total capacity of 84 MW. The plant utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery energy storage. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 112 MWh, providing a duration of 4 hours and employing lithium-ion battery (LIB) chemistry. The solar component uses single-axis tracking. Estrella Solar & Storage operates within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region.
The plant's primary fuel source is electricity (MWH), reflecting its reliance on solar energy and battery storage. In its latest year of operation, Estrella Solar & Storage generated 153,344 MWh, achieving a capacity factor of 20.8%. Financial data indicates a power purchase agreement (PPA) price of $27.46 per MWh. Estrella Solar & Storage is ranked 124th out of 300 power plants in California and 535th out of 1205 plants nationally. The plant consists of 2 generators.

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.
