Located in San Bernardino County, California, the Baldy Mesa 2_Silver Peak Hybrid plant is a 75 MW hybrid facility consisting of solar photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage. The plant, which began operating in 2024, is owned and operated by AES Clean Energy. It utilizes single-axis trackers for its solar panels and lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a total storage capacity of 100 MWh and a duration of 4 hours.
The plant's primary fuel source is categorized as "MWH," reflecting its hybrid nature. In its latest year of operation, the plant generated 118,745 MWh, achieving a capacity factor of 18.0%. The Baldy Mesa 2_Silver Peak Hybrid plant operates within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. It is ranked as the 135th largest plant in California out of 300, and nationally it is ranked 553rd out of 1205. Financial data is available for the plant from LBNL Solar, and it has been the subject of two news articles related to deals.

EIA-860 direct report
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.
