Sun Streams 3 is a hybrid solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) power plant located in Maricopa County, Arizona. The plant has a total capacity of 430 MW and is operated by Sun Streams PVS, LLC. It commenced operations in 2024 and utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and batteries for electricity generation. The facility consists of two generators and features single-axis solar tracking. The BESS component has a storage capacity of 860 MWh, providing a duration of 4 hours, and employs lithium-ion battery (LIB) chemistry. Sun Streams 3 ranks as the 20th largest power plant in Arizona out of 47, and 84th nationally out of 514.
The plant operates within the Arizona Public Service Company balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. In its latest year of operation, Sun Streams 3 generated 493,451 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 13.1%. Financial data indicates that the plant has a power purchase agreement (PPA) price of $25 per MWh. Information regarding the plant has been reported in 10 news articles, with a focus on grid-related topics (7 articles) and deals (3 articles).

Capacity Factor
Positive values indicate net discharge (generation exceeds station load). Negative values indicate net charging. Pure battery storage plants are typically net negative due to round-trip efficiency losses.

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.
